Congratulations, you have a reputation of 1,427 as observed on kbin.social!
Kbin / mbin do expose reputation (karma) even for federated users. e.g.

But they are taking about monitoring public facing social media - frankly I think it would be daft if they did not do this.
If a be teaching assistant starts publicly posting harmful harmful content there should indeed be systems on place to ensure this is identified and appropriate action taken.
If you post publicly you have to assume everybody, including your employer, might see it.

From the comment I'm guessing Canada... but then India is commonwealth too so the logic doesn't really work.

My read of this is mostly that airlines don't engage in price fixing and collusion - or more specifically their algorithms are designed so they don't (directly) create this outcome.

I think you get spaghettified inside the event horizon?

Look up hairy black holes. Hawking basically pointed out a paradox.

The plane is also banked, it's turning.
This means as the camera moves around the plane we continue to see the plane from same angle - this adds to the illusion since it makes the plane look much further away.

If you use kbin you can even see who has made each upvote, so yes easy to then look for patterns of voting together and also at the profiles to see if the accounts looks like real people etc.

Posts and comments are federated (synchronised). Upvotes are actually a bit of a fudge, they are actually 'Favourites' if considered from an activity pub (e.g. Mastodon) perspective, and yes favourites are also federated.
Downvotes don't exist in activity pub and, as a result, they do not federate between instances.
At least that is my understanding.

E.g. https://kbin.melroy.org/api/docs
The API was merged about three weeks ago.
There have been quite a few bug fixes in that time too...

The kbin code does now have an API, kbin.social just isn't running the latest version of the code.
On the rate of development and backlog of pull requests - it looks like kbin has just been forked (mbin) in an attempt to address this.

@soweli@kbin.social There is certainly some truth to that, but

  1. it gets easeir farily quickly; and
  2. it's worth the effort! Other platforms don't give you the same power and breadth of access across the fediverse.

You'll find you get more interaction from within kbin (and also from Lemmy) if you use 'Threads' rather than 'Posts' (like this). Posts sit in the Microblog and are more aligned to Mastodon way of working - they are harder to see unless people already follow you.
