Sure SatansMaggotyCumFart. How many other alts do you have?
By a strange coincidence, ninety-nine.
You spelled sixty-eight wrong.
I hate to break this to you, but there’s only 43 people on lemmy at all. We’re all just pretending to be everyone, including you.
You aren’t you at all, you’re a constructed personality inside someone’s mind with a lifetime of false memories and a thin veneer of “free will” to give you the illusion of being a real person.
And of those 43, 42 are just multiple rats sharing a trenchcoat.
You better get away from my peanuts, willard!
wait, so i am you, and you are me. would that make us one big happy family?
Absolutely!
Instance admins can easily see who downvoted or upvoted what tho.
Nothing except the rules of most instances against vote manipulation. It’s very easy to determine alts and votes on Lemmy aren’t anonymous.
That’s one reason I love that there is no “karma” score on Lemmee. There’s less incentive to recycle old memes, shill for upvotes, etc. But yeah for propaganda purposes, it can totally be done, probably is being done right now.
Who pays attention to votes?
On reddit, it was obvious that people would read the headline then check out the top comment to find out what their opinion of the headline should be.
How do I know you’re not a bot sent here by Steve Huffman to sow discord and create chaos on Lemmy because he’s a small petty man?
Hmm? 🧐
That is, indeed, my entire point. Thank you for reinforcing it.
JUST WHAT A BOT WOULD SAY!!! 🤖🤖🤖
Lemmy! The place where everything is made up, and the points don’t matter!
I mean sure. It’s probably done in some extend. But on most posts it’s just not worth the trouble setting up a whole bot network, just because you don’t like to post of 3volver. And you could build a similar bot network for pretty much every other social media platform, so it’s not realy worth to invest that much time in altering the upvotes of a lemmy post. Lemmy beeing a network most people never even heard about.
Most lemmy servers now have application processes and check for IPs being the same to prevent attacks afaik. When I helped delete spam posts the large majority was from fringe lemmy servers, none from the big ones.
You can still open up one accound on every server but it takes so much time that it makes no sense imo.
Who tf has time for that? The downvote button doesn’t even work and upvotes mean nothing.
I have 27 Accounts
…on twenty seven instances
Yes of course, having them on the same instance makes no sense.
Same everywhere else

Because they are acting weird in the comments.

The lack of meaningful proof that it’s not the case, bring on the consistent downvotes.
That’s not how it works. If you claim something and want it to be validated, you need proof.
You don’t randomly claim things and get other people to disprove you
