Lemmy just isn't busy enough for that. Unless you're looking at "all" you're going to see pretty much every post in every sub you're subscribed to. And if you're watching "all", then upvotes will curate your experience just fine.
And ultimately, it's a moderation issue, not an admin issue. It's certainly not something I'm going to turn on, opening our trans users to revenge votes, just to avoid a questionable niche scenario
Depends on how the Blahaj admins feel about misinformation, but in general misinformation is pretty bad and if you are operating in bad faith you will likely be actioned, especially since reports aren't like Reddit where they target specific rules, they are a written response. basically anything that operates as bad-faith is getting the axe here, there's extra incentive for it.
Another thing to keep in mind is that malicous actors can give themselves fake upvotes if they have multiple accounts of different names. In that case it's best to not even bother with Booing them and just get to giving them the boot (ban evasion can't be proven so actioning upvoting accounts only when you can prove a correlation between them, oherwise you'll ban people who simply upvoted them).
yeah, I think it's a significant problem that I can't downvote in places where other people brag about downvoting.
