Besides it’s a very important question for our privacy, I suspect some of my comments getting downvoted at set periods of time from other accounts. I don’t understand how the fediverse work and what I’m asking is who has vote logs? Who I can ask, if a bot, like on reddit, got dedicated to downvote every post from one user. How to avoid vote brigading on here? Can it be automated?

I’m not pissed and I do know I post literal shit sometimes. It’s just I’m wondering, if our fedieverse have machanics against that.

    It shouldn’t be terribly hard to create software that federates with other servers, but only for the purpose of displaying stuff like this.

      That would be extremely easy. Other instances could probably defederate to to not have their data crawled, but I’m not 100% certain they would know which instance to defederate from.

        If it was open source, lots of folks could run a node. The data could published on another site that would make it hard to figure out where it was coming from.
