Jfc, I’m not the original person who started this thread.

But if you’re a child who needs it broken down:

1. forums such as lemmy allow users to create multiple accounts
2. each account a person has access to is a potential vote
3. casual honest users will then likely just have one vote
4. whereas terminally online jerkoffs like you sound like will have a dozen or more accounts and votes
5. therefore, it’s not a good system for enforcing any kind of egalitarianism.

You might as well ask why we need login accounts at all. If you want to see what happens with such systems, you need only look at 4chan.

Now, fuck off I’m done with this thread

Eh, it’s pretty straight forward

The AT protocol is open, though

Not really. In that metaphor it’s more like, “I chose the McDonald’s down at the corner to get my Big Mac instead of the one across town.”

Why are you interpreting this as a power grab?

Go easy on the thesaurus, kid.

Always the hallmark of a real contender. Oh, did I say “hallmark”? Hope that doesn’t cause you to stumble. “Stumble” means to trip while walking; in this case it’s a metaphor for thinking.

Hope that was clear enough for you.

Nice strawman argument

Huh. Considering the primary point of the video was how open signups are bad, I don’t know why you contradicted your comment on the other thread and said this video has no valid point.

So nice self-contradiction I guess?

Lol, if you think that absolutely open sign ups on instances isn’t a problem, then thanks for advertising the bankruptcy of your opinions
