Thanks for your comment. However that it sits in the high negative numbers (with 3 times the downvotes) shows that this instance is actually a problem. It is quite actively destroying principles of decentralized federated networks. Some very online super posters seem to participate in that.

Again it would be interesting to see who was it that downvoted your post.

The Feds had people on 100 user big BBSes.
If you followed the studies about so called “extremism” (which often ignores the extremism of the center) then lemmy played a role in that, so it is more unlikely than likely that Feds wouldn’t be on several lemmy servers.

At the current place in time 15 people thought it was a good idea to downvote that post. That is also showing quite an obvious anti-left potential anti-liberal and US centric bias, which others for example BIPoCs would not share. Or whistleblowers.

The admins have access to that information btw. who upvotes and downvotes what. This means that closer connection to the FBI also makes it more easy for them to access the 100k+ users preferences, political leanings etc. as well as private messages. Other agencies wouldn’t even need to be involved with warrants to get that data, since the servers are harboring enough international communication that you ought to act as if intelligence agencies might have access to what you write, post and how you vote.

Decentralized lemmy verse are definitely something to aim for. It is essential for the concepts and ensures diverse communities which aren’t dominated by admin ideas and regional bias.

and those troll-websites (and culture) is well known to retaliate in the form of DDOS attacks.

Which ones? Cause it seems you are kinda inventing a new reality unless you mean 4chan or alike (which do not have lemmy instances though right wing exploding heads would be close).
