in different social networks I often see a table of fediverse alternatives to centralized social networks like twitter = mastodon and so on, but I noticed that the alternative to reddit is piefed and not lemmy, can someone explain what kind of fediverse project this is, and is it different from lemmy?🤔
Anyone who averages a ratio that low across all contributions is almost certainly not someone you want around.
That's what banning and blocking are for, those are features already up to the users, admins and moderators. So what's the point of the flag in the first place?
In order to notice a flurry of users downvoting the same person consistently, someone would have to be investigating. I'm a mod and I'm not sure how to begin to tell if they happened to be sockpuppets. This means tools would have to be built to monitor where votes are coming from and flag users who vote together (if they don't already exist.) That increases mod duties to patrol a feature because it can be gamed, when, again, there are already tools for users to decide for themselves who they interact with.
