So I was going through /all and this admin is snooping at vote counts for posts in his instance and then posting it publicly.

Just a reminder that these kind of petty people exist. Pick a trustworthy instance or better yet, host your own.

    I’m actually curious to know if federated instances share the data of their federated instances… if so, there is a proper reason to be actually alarmed, as ACLs would essentially be cosmetic only.

        Well, as in let’s say instance A is federated to B, B federated to C, A blacklisted C.

        So, clearly, A isn’t getting data about C. It will drop it on ingress (I expect).

        But, will C have access to the exact same data about A, through B, that it would have access to from A if not blocked by A?

            Thanks for digging and reporting on this, but I’m gonna take a break with my phone (the main way I interact with Lemmy), since it is such a steaming pile of shit.

            I’ll try to find a way to use Lemmy on a proper OS without using the horrendous web interface (hopefully there are cool clients out there), and then I’ll see. 👋
