Reddit reported a big increase in sales for the first quarter and said second-quarter revenue will jump by more than 30%, based on the midpoint of the range.
I think ActivityPub requires that a message purported to be from some user needs to be signed with their private key (in practice, the key that their instance keeps track of on their behalf).
I’m not 100% sure of that but I think it’s how it works. So you would have to entice the people you dislike into making users on your instance, or else come up with some other way of gaming the system. (And, I think you’d be defederated from everyone almost instantly.)
Fun fact, lemmy.ml actually does automatically edit users’ posts to remove certain curse words. Even that seems to me absurdly authoritarian in this weird specific nanny-state type of way (like – they could make a feature where you can decide to have a set of words censored on the reading side, for posts from any instance – but no, they deliberately decided to police their user’s posts for everyone, and remove the ability for their users to more successfully achieve the supposed goal). It offends me probably more than it should.
I wonder what it would take to run a hostile lemmy instance, just designed to drag people you dislike via putting words in their mouth.

Alright thanks I’ll work on it
