Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

The best part of the fediverse is that anyone can run their own server. The downside of this is that anyone can easily create hordes of fake accounts, as I will now demonstrate.

Fighting fake accounts is hard and most implementations do not currently have an effective way of filtering out fake accounts. I'm sure that the developers will step in if this becomes a bigger problem. Until then, remember that votes are just a number.

Did anyone ever claim that the Fediverse is somehow a solution for the bot/fake vote or even brigading problem?

I've set the registration date on my account back 100 years just to show how easy it is to manipulate Lemmy when you run your own server.

That's exactly what a vampire that was here 100 years ago would say.

Votes were just a number on reddit too... There was no magic behind them, and as Spez showed us multiple times: even reddit modified counts to make some posts tell something different.

And remember: reddit used to have a horde of bots just to become popular.

Everything on the internet is or can be fake!

Get rid of votes. They suck.
