  • Will this post be a target of exactly, you’ll get a few downvotes. Why are you worried about that exactly?

    Often when brigading happens, it’s not just the one comment that gets downvoted, you’re whole post history gets downvoted. Heavily downvoted posts don’t show up in feeds, and you end up struggling to interact with the community. Some communities will outright ban (or shadow ban) a heavily downvoted account. Its forced ostracism.

    Once again, it’s a question of incentives. People operating individual servers have no interest to allow corporate interference on the platform.

    It may not be openly allowed, I understand that. The problem is when you have bad faith actors and shills. They pretend to be not associated with a corporation, but they subtly push an agenda.
