No I was not sarcastic. So now i am trying to read your paper and i think that it is above my knowledge level.

As a layman i had the intuition that instead of having two accounts as i proposed for voting and commenting which was implemented by @rimu, we might have had something like blockchain or filecoin or some coin that would represent voting power and that would be based on our commenting value… so that coin would have been an intermediary to make voting anonymous.

Finally i know enough about science that i know that i don’t know much.

Edit : after a rapid overview of the article i would say that this method :
“Blind Signature-Based e-Voting”
would be most appropriate to our social media voting and i noticed the work they have done is more targeting national elections where the outcome is much more important.

Yes but … Navigation icon at the top right of the pages leads to these :

@[email protected] did great on my simple idea and this is very nice to know. He did not implement his other idea of having a pool of available robots that would vote one time each for each one vote of each one user(s) … also I thought it might be implemented in the frontend but he did implement it in the backend.

i did not say before but i was also thinking about complex mechanisms involving some kind of coin that would represent voting power that could be spent when voting or accumulated maybe with some loss of value with time … but then i read about the many research paper that were published about such things … in conclusion i believe we will see many other iterations of such social media.

thanks for the feedback 😌

Thanks @[email protected],
i believe many users will be interested in these papers about cryptographically secure voting.

Amongst them there would be :

User’s votes anonymization through this system looks quite nice for me.

Let’s create separate accounts for voting and for posting so to improve anonymity and freedom of expression.

Thanks for this article describing the actual computer system update crisis … but still, i do not know what this photograph of some guy means in your post …
Edit : never mind someone else explained it to me here

i am out of the loop here once again.

Someone closer to the developers than you are ?

❤️🍾🥂🍰

This seems very dangerous : just look at the photograph !

Hi adONis,
a “block” is not a “ban”. e.i. : if I have account ABC and from that ABC account I block user 123 then, from ABC I cannot read anything posted by 123 but I would be able to read 123’s posts from my other accounts (and so would anybody else).

Which one as the best potential :
(between Lemmy, Mastodon or Sharkey)
1-for users,
2-for moderators,
3-for administrators,
4-for developers ?
