This post is 2 Minutes old and has 7 down votes... Ruskibots

[–] catarina@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Don't discount fat fingers entirely (:

Normal posts have at max 4 votes after 2 Minuten, so even if they all fat finger, it would be at max 4 down votes without bots ;)

-guy that sorts the all feed by new

Downvotes should be public like on Kbin, that would help with this kind of behaviour

[–] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Nah thats also not the Solution anonymity is key. And bots don't care anyway, and banning people for down voting is not exactly a good behavior either.

Anonymity comes from your pseudonym. Your behaviours in public are public.

[–] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No. Point is that voting is "direct, free, equal and secret" -Art 38 GG (server is German)

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dude what? That's a law regarding the Bundestag. lmao

[–] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, thats actually regarding any official voting.

Plebiscite, elections of ANY kind (including stuff like Works council or "Sozial wahl"), * Referendum and even such silly things as Class representatives and Student Representatives. They are all falling under this law.

Die Abgeordneten des Deutschen Bundestages werden in allgemeiner, unmittelbarer, freier, gleicher und geheimer Wahl gewΓ€hlt. Sie sind Vertreter des ganzen Volkes, an AuftrΓ€ge und Weisungen nicht gebunden und nur ihrem Gewissen unterworfen.

Trifft aber nicht nur fΓΌr die Abgeordneten des Bundestages zu...

With anonymity comes brigading. Different instances might handle this differently

[–] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Without anonymity comes surveillance and censorship.

For real civil identities, definitely.

For alts I can create in a whim, not so much.

And before you tell that spammers would create alts too, you can imagine some age or karma (because it exist, even if hidden) before being able to downvote.

That could also work

[–] albert180@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

That's not possible as far as I know
