How do we keep this from not coming to Lemmy? Any ideas?
So far my experience here on Lemmy feels way more genuin, even encounters with people i strongly disagree with still feels real to debate with compared to reddit and even facebook.

We’re already offered some protection by up/down votes not mattering. Botting yourself doesn’t buy you much visibility. The real concern for me would be Mods or channel owners on the take. Just like they can’t buy themself views, we rely on mods to bury bullshit and not bury non-advertiser-friendly content. Of course, if a channel goes rogue, we just abandon it on that node and move to another. The pure nature of federation makes us less attractive to advertisers, They’re not going to want to chase dozens of smaller channels all over the place for eyeballs. Also, we’re nearly too small to care about while there are targets as big as Bluesky and Reddit around.
