Making it sound non-threatening for the rich.

*And also corporate democrats, which is most of the democrat party.

Yeah, you need to read the whole story to see how they are abusing those votes, gang behavior, swarming, by someone down-voting them, using this outside tool. I think there are other exploits as well.

Gotcha, well that is unfortunate, as it is obviously being used by some, go$fsckyourself, for exploit.

I have no idea how the admin tools work, so asking the wrong person. He told me they 'plan to' ban it, didn't say how...or when. I have already escalated the issue, now that go$fskyourself and his bullying gang have shown themselves over this incident, to the actually lemmy programmers. They were already aware of this outside tool, and it didn't sound like they were happy about it, but left the issue dangling. I have re-opened it showing the abuse from go$fsckyourself and how it can harm others, so we will see what can be done.

I assume one can create a community and gain admin tools? If that is true, can you then use that tool to also see up/down votes by users outside your own community? If so, that would be another easy exploit for a user wanting this tool.

Edit to add: The programmer of Lemmy replied;

Unfortunately, instances need to explicitly block snooping tools like lemvotes, and also discover other sites/tools that are exposing votes, and adding them to blocklists. Reach out to your server admins and ask them to instance block it.

So, apparently instances/admins can ban this tool.

The orgies were awesome, but besides that I agree. I lived for this series.

😮...if you can dream it.

You are still exposed by using Apple products. Use linux for PC's with encryption, vpn. For a phone, switch to device, such as a Google Pixel, or several other manufacturers that can use a privacy android rom. I use CalyxOS, private, secure and de-googled.

Lets not forget...operation PRISM which was exposed by Snowden.

I find using Lutris for gaming is easier, but there is also Bottles, both allow you to setup all the MS junk as needed per game, including options for using Wine's Proton if need be or desired.

Would you like to search using Alexa?

Amazon would also like to note that consolidation doesn't mean we will have a clean, intuitive interface. We know our users prefer confusion and a UI that resembles a high-speed blender full of user options cranked to the max. They also like adds, lots of adds.

Corporate democrats have got to go...oh HOES!!!
