You’re looking at this from the wrong point of view. The fediverse is not just lemmy: Threads, Tumblr, even BlueSky (albeit with their own protocol, but anyone could just modify their fediverse enabled app to convert their data to be applicable to BlueSky’s protocol) are quickly setting the stage for a new norm. The more websites integrate the fediverse into their stack, the more data outside the immediate sphere of influence of these major corporations can be harvested. To what ends they’ll use it, I don’t know – but I don’t trust them with it.

Until we find life on other worlds we can’t reallt say that for sure
I’m a fullstack dev building my own app for Lemmy. I’d be interested in opening a dialogue if you’re interested. UI/UX is my weak point :P
Your intuition is correct. Someone could certainly modify their backend to create faulty data with the intention of sharing it across platforms. There’s no real standard for preventing that right now as far as I know.
I think most people are assuming we’ll have the ability to fend off anything. All it’s going to take is Zuck creating a new fediverse-enabled platform and just giving everyone with an Instagram account access using their already existing accounts. We’ll be outnumbered by the millions.
Original function and concept was to use the downvote exclusively as a spam filter
Honestly I have no idea, you could totally be right
If the mods are true to their word they should be deleting anything related to the steam gaming platform because now its a sub about steam engines
Blocking them means I'm interacting with their posts
That means running the fediverse on non-proprietary software, not forcing the end-users to interact with conspiracy theorists
