A bit ago I posted on reddit about how gameboys (handheld console) were getting more expensive and Scalpers were making it worse. For a bit the post maintained in the double digits with the occasional scalper downvoting. I went to bed and the next morning- Boom. I had been spam downvoted by people who's main activity is on Scalper subreddits and marketplaces.

That is something that can happen here too, eventually. Not by scalpers, but still.

@Ignacio downvotes don't mean so much here though. Kbin doesn't federate them, Beehaw doesn't even have them.

Kbin has accountability, it’s nice.

I might not understand your post, it doesn't federate but it has accountability? what do you mean by that

[-] livus@kbin.social 4 points 8 months ago

@Pika I think they are referring to how votes are public on Kbin so we can all see who upvoted or downvoted a comment.

They are in Activity Pub too it's just Lemmy doesn't have a function for seeing them.

that makes sense, thank you!

[-] Zealousideal_Fox900@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Fun fact! You can actually see them in the modlog. I believe so, when I was a lemmy.world staff member we were able to see who did them.

@Zealousideal_Fox900 that's interesting!!

I love the fediverse. It feels fun learning and engaging with it.

[-] Zealousideal_Fox900@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

Yeah sadly lemmy is slowly dying and the .world team are just making it worse.

[-] TheVillageGuy@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 8 months ago

time to all move to another server then

[-] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

If you are on kbin you only see kbin upvotes and downvotes.

It also lists the upvotes downvotes and shares

[-] livus@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago

@NoIWontPickaName we can see upvotes from other instances too, it's just the downvotes we don't.

[-] Pika@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

oh interesting, I have a kbin account I traverse but I never noticed lol

[-] livus@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago

@Pika it's in the more tab under activity.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
