Huh - I had not even considered downvotes in other instances… Yeah that seems problematic. Maybe rather than defederating downvotes, there could be a way to differentiate between local and global up/downvotes.

Malicious instances would need to be blocked by the instance you are registered to.

As for multiple accounts - couldn’t the same thing be done on reddit? Just make a bunch of alts and self-inflate your own posts/comments.

These issues are as old as the internet and can only be mitigated, not prevented.

That could be true and it could still ship with a metric shit load of bugs. Don’t they realize how high the bar is set? lol

Horizon Zero Dawn - tried getting into it but yawwwwnnn. I found it so boring and the protaganist obnoxious. Beautiful world though.

Still very excited for this release. But I was dissapointed to see the art direction changed to a more cartoony style - the original teaser was more realistic and dark. It kinda just looks like fantasy Outer Worlds now.

I’m not saying you’re wrong - I don’t know the truth. But your source is literally: “Trust me, bro.”

I’m already more active in 2 days of Lemmy than I was in 5 years on Reddit. Loving this community.
