That would make pushing posts to the top via botting way too easy, and far harder to detect. Federation is intentionally set up so that instances do not trust each other.

Votes on lemmy are inherently public, due to how federation works.
So… does anyone know how legal/illegal piracy is in the Netherlands and Finland?
Blue Blocker is a great extension for anyone still using Twitter.
Saved you a click: New Zealand and the Philippines are the countries.
But have you considered how much money the weapons industry shareholders will make?
Nah. They’re lax about loli. Which, as distasteful as it is, does not involve any harm to actual children. They do go after actual CSAM.
Lately?
Overall users? Probably not. The casual lurker does not know or care what an API is.
But the vast majority of content is made by a tiny fraction of the user base, and that fraction are the ones they pissed off. The quality of posts on large subs very much went down, with repost bots becoming even more prominent than before.
It’s an older meme, but it checks out.
“NTA - only a psychopath would serve skittles, so everything you did was right.”
Idk, sounds like victim blaming to me.
So nothing’s changed then?
I’m using some custom ublock origin filters that I found somewhere to block shorts across all of youtube:
!Youtube Shorts

www.youtube.com###items #endpoint[title="Shorts"]:upward(ytd-mini-guide-entry-renderer)

Also separately, for blocking videos that don’t exist yet, which I also dislike:
!Youtube upcoming videos

For me at least, lack of open sign ups immediately makes me not join an instance. It’s why I didn’t join lemmy the first few times I saw it talked about on reddit, when the main instance was lemmy.ml.
Ah, the classic “nothing to hide” response.
How did that quote go again? “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime”? Even things you think may be innocuous can and will be used against you if given reason to.
