This one is so reposted in my Star Trek groups that they ban you if you post it. Just a heads up if you’re just now getting into Star Trek stuff…
There’s nothing here.

Oh this worked out really well when you have lemmynsfw posts in your feed …
It’ll never work.
The nice things about the Federated universe is that, yes, you can bulk create user accounts on your own instance - and that server can then be defederated by other servers when it becomes obvious that it’s going to create problems.
It’s not a perfect fix and as this post demonstrated, is only really effective after a problem has been identified. At least in terms of vote manipulation from across servers, it could act if it, say, detects that 99% of new upvotes are coming from a server created yesterday with 1 post, it could at least flag it for a human to review.
That’s the problem, even if technically the platform is the worst option, it is a pain to try and relocate a community.
I had to do it with like 70 people from Google Hangouts to another service a few years back and it was crazy how hard just getting everyone into a basic service is. Any new or weird quirk will absolutely chase people back - especially if the original service is still working
Good!
