Besides it’s a very important question for our privacy, I suspect some of my comments getting downvoted at set periods of time from other accounts. I don’t understand how the fediverse work and what I’m asking is who has vote logs? Who I can ask, if a bot, like on reddit, got dedicated to downvote every post from one user. How to avoid vote brigading on here? Can it be automated?
I’m not pissed and I do know I post literal shit sometimes. It’s just I’m wondering, if our fedieverse have machanics against that.
All social media by nature isn’t. You can only try to not make it associable with your IRL identity
IMO public vote data is a small price to pay for not being targeted by ads and followed all over the internet, considering the alternatives are non-federated ad platforms that watch how long you spend scrolling, looking at specific items etc, altering your feed & suggestions to make them more money…
Just be mindful of what you post - sign up at an instance located overseas, don’t interact with communities for your geographic region, don’t post pictures. Won’t stop a subpoena, but layer Tor on top and the origin is unknown. Won’t stop data mining, but if there’s no geographic hints in your post history they are SOL IMO
