Lemmy.World Bots and the Fediverse's Leniency towards Licking Boots (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

48 comments fedilink hide all child comments

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.

Lemmy.world is the worst. It should be defederated by everyone.

Especially because their admins are very bad people.

Found that to be a great example.

That TOS isn't even legal in USA.

Even less so in EU.

Wow. That is some real incompentency.

I'm kinda tempted to make a gpdr request and fuck them up when they fuck it up.

Not gonna do that because gpdr is an absolute fucked piece of law, and I dont want to open that can of worms, but I'm still tempted.

I think open-invite servers like that are asking for trouble. Maybe not a de-federation, but a safer space from the bot swarm I'm seeing.

Moderation federation is very spotty and always has been. I’ve cumulatively spent a few hours checking and it’s consistently inconsistent. Not to mention the fact that the referenced post was made after a user tried to make .world their personal drama blog using several accounts. This and the other post strike me as faux indignation.

Yeah antik is a admin there however...

And its not about them removing not enough... Not at all.

Open in new tab or external, it definitely works.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No worries. Maybe it was the instance
