The best part of the fediverse is that anyone can run their own server. The downside of this is that anyone can easily create hordes of fake accounts, as I will now demonstrate.
Fighting fake accounts is hard and most implementations do not currently have an effective way of filtering out fake accounts. I’m sure that the developers will step in if this becomes a bigger problem. Until then, remember that votes are just a number.
I’m assuming this is a joke based on the Futurama references you used, but just to be clear for everyone: this won’t work because it simply moves the problem one step further. How do you prevent bots from upvoting other bots to build a reputation?
