You have all the powers that Putin currently does. Everyone feels the same way they do about you that they used to about Putin. You have his authority, for as long as you can hang on to it. You have none of his knowledge, however. The economic, military, social and political situations are the same as they now are. You are not inhabiting Putin’s body, you are just you. You’re magically transferred to the Kremlin.

How do you avoid falling out a window onto a pile of bullets your first week?

You'd probably be tossed out a window before the day was over, TBH.

There's no 'if', they already are.

what would stop a malicious user from automating crawling the fediverse to get a list of every up and down vote a targeted user has ever made?

The same thing currently stopping them: nothing but time and effort.

Admins can currently do this, I assume given enough time and intent? Yuck.

No, anybody can currently do this.

That's the issue with decentralisation. The info is out there. It's that or trust a megacorp with it.

Not the whole comment, but the word would get removed. It also applies to any comments posted to communities hosted on the server.

So much for free speech, eh.

Jihad, civilised disagreement. Potayto, potahto

Many people disagree with the bot existing. Blocking it is just a surrender, downvotes show that the disagreement continues and lets others know it exists.
