This makes me wonder, is there a way to make communities that are inherently immune to trolls? Lemmy is for sure an improvement from r*ddit, since if an instance's admins become corrupt, users have the freedom to relocate to another instance. Would a social media platform with no reputation/voting system be even more resistant? On one hand, it would wipe out karma bots and account trading. But on the other hand, it would make it easier for someone to push propaganda by spamming from multiple accounts. Currently, imageboards seem to generally have less shilled content, but that may just be because imageboards tend to produce smaller and more niche communities (not to mention places like /pol, which most advertiser simply don't want to associate with)
