  • You know, I could see a feature where if someone mass downvotes a certain percentage of your posts, then block them in some manner.

    Like if someone made a script to downvote ALL your posts or something of that nature. But I personally havent seen something like that in the fedi before. But it was something reddit had a problem with. Bots downvoting so their own posts got to the top before anyone else.

    I dont think blanket blocking downvoting people is a good thing though. As others have said,it will undermine the purpose of the voting, for visibility.


  • Its decent…but VERY hard to set up. At least at the moment.

    Ive played around and contributed a tiny bit over the last couple of years. You basically set it up piecemeal and then you have an actual decentralized server/client setup on a number of devices. Phones, lora, etc… can all work with it.

    Ive sent myself some pictures/voice/internet packets via two heltek v3 at one point using nothing but the system and a laptop not connected to the internet. It does what is says on the tin.

    But it took quite a bit of time and effort to get there. And while it was neat, no one else is really using it and things go down all the time. So I moved on to “easier” projects like meshtastic/core.

    Tor/onion is MUCH easier than using reticulum but also is dependent on quite a number of internet nodes all being up and doing their thing. reticulum can run on the equivalent of 1W (or less) helteks.
