Everyone I have something very important to say about The Agora.
The Problem
Let me be super clear here to something people don’t seem to understand about lemmy and the fediverse. Votes mean absolutely nothing. No less than nothing.
In the fediverse, anyone can open a instance, create as many users as they want and one person can easily vote 10,000 times. I’m serious. This is not hard to do.
Voting at best is a guide to what is entertaining.
As soon as you allow a incentive the vast majority of votes will be fake. They might already be mostly fake.
If you try to make any decision using votes as a guide someone WILL manipulate votes to control YOU.
one solution (think of others too!)
A counsel of trusted users.
The admin, top mods may set up a group to decide on who to ban and what instances to defederate from. You will not get it right 100% of the time but you also won’t be controlled by one guy in his basement, running 4 instances and 1,000 alts.
Now i’m gonna go back to shit posting.
What is demonstrably true should be demonstrated to demonstrate its demonstrability.
Good God.
Do you want me to make ten alts, vote ten times and take a screenshot?
i was referring to your claim that he was an alt
Let me know if you ever get something else than the sound of the wind blowing 🤓
The more I see this olibrius, the more I wonder if he’s not actually the one that’s polluted this instance with troll accounts in the past few days (maybe including Beehaw).
Yup. Maybe this thread is just him warning us about himself and his intentions. 🙄
Definitely.
