  • Ok, that kinda makes sense, but that seems pretty niche. you have to make a few cognitive leaps to get it. That’s ok, it’s fine to make jokes like that, but it seems a bit much to be a jerk to folks who don’t get it.

    Looking over the comment section again, it’s still like it was when I posted: most people are taking the question at face value, and not engaging with the joke.



  • The data needs to be sent from the voter to the server that owns the post. But the server that owns the post can anonymize the data before it sends it to clients or other servers.

    That said I don’t have deep understanding of activitypub. Its possible that something would prevent this, like if votes made their way to the server that owns the post by way of telephone game rather than directly from the client or the user’s home server. But that seems like an unreasonable design, so I doubt (hope not) that is the case.










  • I imagine that “sold by Amazon” has about the same supply chain reliability as big box retailers. On Amazon you do gotta check your seller rating if you’re not buying prime, but that’s not harder than driving to best buy, and big box retailer online stores have the same problem when they’re the storefront for 3rd parties (as many are, trying to emulate Amazon).

    On Amazon, reviews can be faked, but at least it has reviews.
