I am curious what can be done about the Lemmy.World era of botting corpo comments to protect their investments?
Anything remotely federated w/ LW has a massive hard-on for corporations (anti-piracy boot-lickers only added us back when we had the largest community in the fediverse), racism (you ain’t american, you aint right), a desire to troll/argue in bad faith, and a general “fuck you, I have 500 accounts to down-vote with.”
I myself have over 60 accounts on Lemmy.World; and because of that, I am 100% certain somebody has a type of SMM portal to scan for keywords and upvote/downvote accordingly.
Don’t believe me?
Go post about Apple, Facebook, Tesla, or any other 1% owned entity, and watch which accounts upvote/downvote in less time than required to read the post.
ha, yeah, ive experienced this. i mean, its standard bot behavior to look for new posts and act accordingly.
the votes should be public… are they not on lemmy? im usin mbin, where they are exposed… except downvotes are not federated here

you dont understand. the kbin/mbin software does not accept downvotes for federation. its just dropped traffic.

It’s a server setting on Lemmy. My instance doesn’t federate downvotes either, no anonymous mass-downvoting over here.
