I think that's going to be more of a limitation than your CPU. Any chance of getting 256+ MB of ram?

Not lame, I appreciated it and as a result will be implementing ID-based pagination, sometime.

Ok, yeah, theoretically.

But we're talking about putting voting info into the UI for anyone to see. Not highly motivated and skilled bad actors.

They'd get defederated.

Hmmm I see a bunch of my friends have not upvoted my post. I will contact them to ask why not and ensure that they do.

Yes I know. Mbin and Kbin should be encouraged to change this. We're currently in a fairly benign environment so it doesn't really matter but if the threadiverse ever got big then this could become serious enough to be a cause for defederation.

I don't know it's just a brain fart fantasy at the moment, haven't seriously looked into it. But afaik there is no voting ring detection in Lemmy.

I have been considering building it into PieFed, if votes became public. There would be a pool of 1000+ bot accounts which will vote on behalf of anyone who wants it. When a vote is cast one of the proxies would be randomly chosen to federate the vote instead.

That's bad and Mbin should change it.

anyone can set up a Lemmy server

This is not the case. What percentage of the population could set up a Lemmy server, do you think? 1%? 0.1%? Of those, what percentage have the time to set up a Lemmy server? 1%?

Your votes are already public.

People say this all the time, but it's not really the case.

I don't think privacy is a binary thing that one either has or does not - there are degrees of privacy. Currently what we have is mostly private, requiring either technical skill or admin access to circumvent. This is a pretty high bar which 99% of people would not be able to reach. You're proposing removing the bar entirely because it is not high enough.

When listing an app on the app store, there is a footgun to watch out for. One of the questions it asks is "Is this app made for children" or "is this app intended for children" or something like that. If you say "yes" to this then that triggers extra stringent evaluation criteria. Many people will accidentally choose yes for their app because it's a general purpose app which anyone can use (no porn, violence, etc) but that is a mistake. The intent of that question is to find apps that are ONLY for children to use and to evaluate them differently in order to keep children safe.

Latest theory: he is intentionally trying to lose, so his voters to back to voting for Trump

She didn't commit voting fraud. She granted access to voting data to people who should not have had that access.

Tina Peters was convicted of three counts of attempting to influence a public official; conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation; official misconduct; violation of duty; and failure to comply with an order of the Secretary of State. The jury acquitted Peters of three counts: conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, criminal impersonation and identity theft.

FYI 90.6% of all votes are upvotes.

Moderators certainly got involved in some of the cross-posts of the earlier thread, at least a dozen comments were removed on beehaw and a couple people got banned from the awful.systems thread.

It seems as if the only way you'd ever say there is NO racism on Lemmy is if there was no need to moderate racist posts - if there were no racist people present. That's a much higher bar than "have you SEEN racism", which requires racist posts to be left unmoderated for a substantial amount of time so that many people can see them and then provide the "quotes and links" you are soliciting. It feels like you've shifted the goalposts a bit, now.

following the first report’s publication, TikTok disabled its hashtag measurement functionality in a move that made it impossible for the researchers to replicate their findings.

Reasons why racism on Lemmy is less of an issue:

• There are only a few Lemmy instances - those that harbor racism are easily defederated from.
• Downvotes make bad content easy to detect, even if not reported.
• Content is posted into communities, which have moderators. Hashtags on Mastodon are un-moderated.
• Unlike mastodon, replies are sent to all instances so visibility is higher. No hiding in obscurity.
• Federated networks tend to have a central hub - Lemmy.world is well moderated, unlike mastodon.social.

It's glorious! Found my next keyboard, thanks 👍
