The best part of the fediverse is that anyone can run their own server. The downside of this is that anyone can easily create hordes of fake accounts, as I will now demonstrate.

Fighting fake accounts is hard and most implementations do not currently have an effective way of filtering out fake accounts. I’m sure that the developers will step in if this becomes a bigger problem. Until then, remember that votes are just a number.

    I’ve set the registration date on my account back 100 years just to show how easy it is to manipulate Lemmy when you run your own server.

    That’s exactly what a vampire that was here 100 years ago would say.
