I am curious what can be done about the Lemmy.World era of botting corpo comments to protect their investments?
Anything remotely federated w/ LW has a massive hard-on for corporations (anti-piracy boot-lickers only added us back when we had the largest community in the fediverse), racism (you ain’t american, you aint right), a desire to troll/argue in bad faith, and a general “fuck you, I have 500 accounts to down-vote with.”
I myself have over 60 accounts on Lemmy.World; and because of that, I am 100% certain somebody has a type of SMM portal to scan for keywords and upvote/downvote accordingly.
Don’t believe me?
Go post about Apple, Facebook, Tesla, or any other 1% owned entity, and watch which accounts upvote/downvote in less time than required to read the post.
The instant voting issue can likely be handled by making honeypot posts and acting on the accounts that consistently action in <20 seconds or so.
That said, the one thing I wish Lemmy could do is properly identify alts. There’s no system in place to combat some asshole with 1k voting power (or reporting power for the few communities with an automod like system set up) destroying the balance on a whim.
