No? Again, one account, one vote per comment. Each account votes once, on one person’s comment, isn’t going to trigger shit.
If anything, making a ton of puppet accounts and having only some vote in rotation to push your agenda would be the best way to get around it. So it encourages a problem while claiming to fix a problem that isn’t there.
Worse, it drives off the people who are on Lemmy a lot and make a lot of the content. That idiot admin just wants Lemmy to be silent, and he should just unplug his computer and go touch grass on a mountainside somewhere if he wants silence.
At the end of the day each account now has a limit that most humans will never notice, whereas before they could perform as many actions as they desired. It’s the difference between infinite and a very large but clearly limited number.
And if those automated systems hit their limit because the botter issued instructions for them to vote past their limit, then it becomes suspicious behavior which can be used to identify them. Especially true when the botter is part of network utilizing a shared pool of automated accounts.

To be clear, in this particular thread we’re discussing a PieFed feature, not Lemmy.
Now, I do agree it should be configurable and toggleable by the instance owners, but I see value in the feature.
Sorry. I tend to use Lemmy as another stand-in for fediverse, same as people say Kleenex for facial tissues.
But you still seem to think this ban on interacting too much with people is a good thing, which I just can’t fathom.
No-one can vote on a post more than once, and the votes are meaningless anyways. Plus, the more content and interactions, the better the fediverse is. So why stop people from voting to their heart’s content? The admin even flat-out said he thought too much interaction in the fediverse was a bad thing, which is like… that’s why we’re here? To interact with people?

Yes, but PugJesus hosted all his stuff on Pifed. That’s why he left; it was just too much to move.
And again, if he was hitting it regularly, just a regular Lemmy content creator, that limit was way too fucking low.
And again, since the limit is well-displayed, it’s not hard to get around it.
So it’s fucking stupid.
Again you keep saying Lemmy, that’s wrong. That isn’t Lemmy. Lemmy is the one run by red fascist tankie genocidal anti-trans maniacs.
