minus-squaredanc4498@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·5 hours agoI love it, but I fear for the day Lemmy becomes so popular that it is worthwhile for the corporate bots to begin gaming Lemmy’s algorithm to dominate front pages. I don’t think Lemmy is prepared to defend against this.
minus-squarebayesianbandit@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 hours agoI am still new to the fediverse but I figured that smaller constellations will federate without connecting to the largest federation. It’s harder to manipulate 500 disjoint federations than 1 really large one. Especially when some of those federations rely on heavy verification. Of course those smaller federations are likely organized around specific purposes or organizing interests rather than broad public discourse.
