A federated reddit system needs ways to lock down user accounts. That it’s basically 4chan in terms of anonymity gives too much of an open door to extremists and trolls. I don’t see any difference between this and voat except the assumption of goodwill rather than being centered around right wing extremism.


The fediverse has proven quite resilient to trolls, bots and numerous other challenges as users and instance operators can block other users and instances, (or mute/content warn media) among numerous other moderation tools to prevent bad actors from destroying the signal to noise ratio of each instance.
