The best part of the fediverse is that anyone can run their own server. The downside of this is that anyone can easily create hordes of fake accounts, as I will now demonstrate.

Fighting fake accounts is hard and most implementations do not currently have an effective way of filtering out fake accounts. I'm sure that the developers will step in if this becomes a bigger problem. Until then, remember that votes are just a number.

Client must computer all raw data. All individual moderation action (vote,block, subscribe) would be made public by default and stealth optional.

Only user led moderation has a future, it all has to be transparent, public, client sided, optional and consensual
