This remains true for most platforms, not just those in the fediverse. HN is one example!
I am reading this article with great interest. I've recently started exploring fediverse platforms with much excitement. I'm more interested in building a community at the moment, and although this can be achieved with a classic bulletin board system, the fediverse had me curious.
However, fair warning, my project doesn't have yet federation enabled. It's on a backburner until I have a better handle on moderation.
Every attempt at an AP derivative for voting has ended in scary ways.

actually i think HN - ie. the comments, especially TLDR - is an example of, at least partial, solution, and this is why me like many other people usually go straight for the comments instead of the original article/post.
And the latter is at least partially responsible for the former.
The voting system is also crucial, imho.
