Given how spread-out Lemmy is, it’ll be pretty hard to screw it in the same way Reddit got screwed, though. Like, if a given instance doesn’t like you, or you don’t like that given instance, there are plenty of others for you to move to, or you could host your own if you have the hardware and admin skills.
Unfortunately, it’s something that should be incredibly easy to do given the nature of the fediverse. Plus they can easily analyze a user’s upvote/downvote behaviour over here.

Ahh. Good point. I hope it doesnt happen but I’d be amazed if bots aren’t at least scanning lemmy and injesting what is being discussed.
