Nice, so many improvements!@ernest I (preemptively) did a summary of the benefits which this update has just brought to kbin.social over on matrix a while back. Will you share a version of that or something similar?
Hello from kbin... (federated here too)But this poses an interesting dilemma for Google, potentially to top 100 results could end up just being the same post observed on many Lemmy and kbin instances.
Only it is more complicated than that too ...kbin has boosts as well as upvotes, and boosts count double, so reputation is:Boosts x2 + upvotes - downvotesand all of that is as observed by that instance, so much of your history could well be on communities the kbin instance doesn't know and didn't see.
Congratulations, you have a reputation of 1,427 as observed on kbin.social!Kbin / mbin do expose reputation (karma) even for federated users. e.g.https://kbin.social/u/@GreyTechnician@lemm.ee
But they are taking about monitoring public facing social media - frankly I think it would be daft if they did not do this.If a be teaching assistant starts publicly posting harmful harmful content there should indeed be systems on place to ensure this is identified and appropriate action taken.If you post publicly you have to assume everybody, including your employer, might see it.
My read of this is mostly that airlines don't engage in price fixing and collusion - or more specifically their algorithms are designed so they don't (directly) create this outcome.
The plane is also banked, it's turning.This means as the camera moves around the plane we continue to see the plane from same angle - this adds to the illusion since it makes the plane look much further away.
If you use kbin you can even see who has made each upvote, so yes easy to then look for patterns of voting together and also at the profiles to see if the accounts looks like real people etc.
Posts and comments are federated (synchronised). Upvotes are actually a bit of a fudge, they are actually 'Favourites' if considered from an activity pub (e.g. Mastodon) perspective, and yes favourites are also federated.Downvotes don't exist in activity pub and, as a result, they do not federate between instances.At least that is my understanding.
The kbin code does now have an API, kbin.social just isn't running the latest version of the code.On the rate of development and backlog of pull requests - it looks like kbin has just been forked (mbin) in an attempt to address this.
Ernest has made a few updates to improve moderation recently e.g.https://kbin.social/m/kbinDevlog/t/615294/kbin-RTR-9-Protection-against-spam-and-several-optimization-improvementshttps://kbin.social/m/kbinDevlog
