Well, doesn't that fly in the face of federated autonomy and privacy?

On one end, if it's my instance and I want to ban a user, I want the whole fucking user banned -- not just remove their ability to vote anonymously. If one of my communities or users is being attacked, it's my responsibility to react. If I can't remove the whole problem with a ban, then I have to remove the whole problem with a de-federation. (A thing I fundamentally don't want to do.)

On the other, if some other admin says, "one of your users is being problematic, please tell me who they are," I'm going to tell that other admin to fuck right off because I just implemented a feature that made their votes anonymous. I'm not about to out my users to some rando because they're raining downvotes on MeinHitler69@nazi.hut.

It's a philosophical difference of opinion.

What about PieFed-based shitty humans?

If the same account is voting in the same direction on every single post and comment in an entire community in a matter of seconds while contributing neither posts nor comments? Yes, vote manipulation.

If one user is following another around, down voting their content across a wide range of topics? Yes, targeted harassment.

Hey, Lemmy admin here. If I ban an anonymous account, does the account it's tethered to also get banned?

This can be made even simpler by installing all the repos you want to mirror as submodules of the parent directory's git repository. Instead of many git pull or git fetch, you blast a single git submodule update --recursive --remote and go about your day.


Bonus: This has the added benefit of generating a git history for your automated process if you script in a commit message with a timestamp, making your mirrors reversible.

Buzzfeed News did not suck.

Summit has this, by long-pressing the context button. (It might be a setting.)

TL;DR - This waterfall of word vomit makes no mention of contemporary PHP-based CMS and can be ignored entirely.

It's paid like WinRAR is paid.
