i really don't see the issue. are they worried about vote manipulation? if so, that is the most naive approach to it: you hurt the most active users, which hurts overall content, which the threadyverse does not have too much of anyway. all the while the problem does not get solved.

i am not sure whether it would work on piefed the exact same as on lemmy, but they rely on the same technology. so i guess yes. if i wanted to manipulate votes, i would spinn up a couple of instances, generate users and let them automatically vote. wanted to write a POC to raise any comment/post into the sky or condemm them to oblivion using this approach. that was a long time ago and never got around to do so - probably won't ever happen. but i don't think it would be too hard for anyone to use this type of manipulation, while it is relatively hard to defend against...
