I’ve been on a journey today trying to understand the fediverse better.
I’ll be mindful to not start bitching about certain instances.
Here’s my example:
Is it technically possible that posts or comments still get downvote-brigaded by an instance that is technically defederated from the instance of the OP?
So let’s say instance A and B are defederated from each other, but both are federated with instance C. After a user from A posts something on C does every user from B get to downvote everything?
I’m trying to determine if the Fediverse has recourse against an r/TheDonald scenario, where one toxic element is allowed to flourish for too long and - in the case with the other site - eventually takes over and destroys everything.
If this debate has been had somewhere else, please feel free to point me there, otherwise I’d love to understand this better.
I’m the same, I don’t care about the karma aspect, I do care when it is strategically used by hidden interests to keep certain content ranked lower and push content they like up.
