Unsubstantiated claim: Any set of rules that aim at distributing money according to some merit can be exploited in a way that those who get the most money are not those providing the most value.

Or less formally: Any game can be cheesed.

Aww. I confused “communities” for “instances” when I read the title. Thanks for pointing it out.

Your data quality is questionable. You list only 2 communities for feddit.org. Lemmy Explorer has 148. I doubt that they’re all ‘suspicious’. And if they are, then that flag is itself suspicious.

Please avoid any and all situations in which you might have the chance of handling any kind of categorized data, for the sake of all of us.
