I myself am donating $500 as well as heading out to Pine Ridge (famous for 
doing a little trolling against the 
) to help out with some of this work including building community gardens and helping to winterize homes for folks on the reservation. Please share this far and wide, this is your chance to actually contribute to revolutionary decolonial praxis (Sungmanitu is an indigenous ML comrade of mine)
I don't know how the new algorithm works either now that we're back on the mainstream Lemmy codebase, and it's probably a good thing that we can't figure it out lol.
I know some users got busted in the early days with bots, I got 40 upvotes at once out of nowhere back then.
i'm happy filing it under Things Man Was Not Meant To Know and plunging forward in blissful ignorance
that's an interesting thought, definitely beats spinning up 50+ new accounts i guess
well beyond me thankfully, so we're just gonna have to post the good ol' fashioned way, just like grandpa used to
The bot and vote manipulation shit in the early days was just hilarious because of how blatant it was and how quickly it got banned. It wasn't even done in any convincing way, you just got a bunch of upvotes instantly, or some 50 accounts with the same naming scheme were created and banned instantly
