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?🤔

    I’m not saying that ALL karma-farming is machine-catchable by ML or simple rules…

    I AM saying that a subset of it absolutely is:

    I’ve read that people make statements, then have 50 of their “alts” downvote the others in the discussion, while upvoting them…

    That absolutely is platform-detectable, if it’s coded-in.

    Further, the reddit tradition of posting-for-karma-farming, then deleting once the karma’s accrued, keeping the karma is specifically what I called-out, & that can be corrected by deleting the karma along with the content-that-had-karma.

    That should be idiot-level requirement, to prevent karma-farming abuse.
