It strikes me that there is the potential to use trusted remote servers as a means of recovering the lost data. I mean, nearly every lemmy instance except lemmy.ml will have copies of the missing data, and given the hugely redundant availability of that data (including the ability to compare from multiple sources to establish/verify trust), using that data to rebuild missing content seems like it could be useful functionality.
Isn’t that how Stargates work?
The realisation of what my career would be like if I programmed professionally is why I don’t have a career in IT :P
One final point. My example above only works if there are no mods for the community on instance C.
If there is a community mod on instance C, that moderator can remove the post and the removal will federate, even when an admin removal on instance C will not (unless that admin is also a community mod for the instance B community)
Ok, there’s your instance, instance A, that hosts your personal account. There’s the instance that hosts the community, instance B, and a random instance that your content has federated to, but doesn’t host you or the community directly. This is instance C.
If an admin on A (instance A mods can’t remove this post) removes your post, it gets removed on other instances too, including B and C.
If an admin or community mod on instance B removes your post, it gets removed on other instances too, including A and C.
However, if an admin on C removes your post (a moderator on C can’t), then it is only removed on instance C. Instance A and B and any other instances the content has federated to aside from C, continue to see replies, edits, votes etc
I’m a wizard?
If fascists are getting downvoted but not banned, you need to find a new instance
Downvotes are often disproportionately used to silence members of vulnerable groups when they post in shared spaces so some instances already ignore them.
Upvotes from the microfediverse is a non issue
Is their being successful going to be used by them to make my life worse? If not, I wish them all the success in the world.
Don’t exist in my experience…
