Despite the Fediverse being cool and not controlled by one entity, it's still vulnerable to astroturfing. The best we can do is be aware about it. Keep yourself grounded, understand that just because something is upvoted doesn't mean it's legitimate, and call out bad actors. For admins and moderators, check the upvote history of sus posts, they could be alt accounts (this happened on Lemmy). If the Fediverse user is aware of these things, we'll be way harder to trick. Stay vigilant! (3/3)
