I was coming to comment this. I’ve used a lot of free video editing software over the years and most of them are ass. The ones that aren’t usually have a catch like watermarking your output. Davinci resolve came out of nowhere for me and blew me away, it’s everything you could want in a video editing program but free!

Reddit had ways to automatically catch people trying to manipulate votes though, at least the obvious ones. A friend of mine posted a reddit link for everyone to upvote on our group and got temporarily suspended for vote manipulation like an hour later. I don’t know if something like that can be implemented in the Fediverse but some people on github suggested a way for instances to share to other instances how trusted/distrusted a user or instance is.

I’m for blocking Threads. I’m not for blocking instances that support Threads. That’s ridiculous, you’d just split the community and make the Fediverse irrelevant.

Some people want to follow Reddit content without opening it. You can block the bot posting these if it’s annoying. I did that and never saw it again.
