Federation abuse allows for easy vote brigading and manipulation. For the past 2 weeks, I have been a victim of targeted vote manipulation. In the earlier days of Lemmy and after Reddit exodus, bot voting manipulation in hundreds and thousands was observed, with one even demonstrating this intentionally with a top Lemmy post.
“Let the votes decide the quality of the content” is capitalist rhetoric that was the start of reddit’s end. It is not an argument, it is not a principle to stand behind, and it most definitely is not a better alternative to guidelines the community can vote on.

Someone gets it.
