in trouble with who?

You can't just index mastodon, they'll kill you!

Do you mean like from a moral perspective or from a self interest perspective? A surrender to the west and solely western occupation would not have been accepted by the soviets, with good reason.

Wait are those separate proposals? Removing individual votes vs tokenizing users in individual votes

Afaict that's just how activitypub works, it's not designed to make anything anonymous. Votes are public to anything federates with the instance already, you just can't access them through the lemmy ui. But they're not anonymized in the activity stream.

There's a brief explanation on twitter's own website https://communitynotes.x.com/guide/en/about/introduction

Here is a very detailed writeup (with some added comments on how it uses tech also seen in crypto) https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2023/08/16/communitynotes.html

Do you mean manipulation from the admins? Because from the spammers perspective not being able to see if your votes went through is pretty inconvenient

Guys if you want them to add public votes please make a GitHub account (I know I know) and give a thumbs up on the issue or a comment.

I mean phpbb threads are sorted by new and there's usually also a limit to the number of posts you can see at a time. They're both views into a database, lemmy just lets you sort the posts differently

Haven't read the paper yet, but based on my personal experience in the barbaric wastelands of reddit and twitter I disagree. Imo the reason removing dislikes/downvotes works on hexbear is that you have strict rules and active/responsive mods that enforce them. I bet it takes a much higher than average (among lemmy communities) amount of work to build and maintain.

In places where that isn't the case, downvotes are a decent stopgap for lazy mods.

I would say no. It isn't as much "work" as sending in the tanks from the regular army to shell a competing but legitimate branch of government, and having a SWAT team machine gun hundreds of protesters.

Except they tend to have higher union participation so it's harder to fire you and more permissible to speak out about your boss.
