Here’s a funny joke.
There are 3 new instances, 1 day old; and all users of those instances have universally decided this post is worthy of a downvote. Hmmmm 🤔
Defederated from them all. @[email protected] they all decided this post was bad too https://threadiverse.link/lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45804501
I’ve told other admins about this. (Thanks quokk.au admin for bringing this up!)
Lol I figured, there’s also a 1-2 day old account @[email protected] whose sole purpose in life is to downvote LMAO https://lemvotes.org/user/[email protected]
Yikes, i didn’t know lemvotes can see a user’s every single vote 🫠 even i can’t do that with my admin powers. Sounds creepy, to say the least but :shrug: not the important thing here.
I’ll tell an LW admin about this. Votes can’t be removed, but they can be stopped.
edit
Well, you won’t believe this.
THREE WHOLE INSTANCES HAVE BEEN MADE, to purely mass downvote all your posts.
Congratulations, sir; that’s not something i see everyday lmao.
LMAO ig im really starting to piss off the tankies 😂

it really should be an achievement badge.

… any monarchists around we could piss off also?
I originally had seven bots downvoting me constantly. Thankfully, the good admins of this instance have blocked them, but yeah, bots and organised brigades are quite common, as well as doxx attempts.
I’ve had a few tankies trying to dox me in their private circles, going in quite a lot of detail about how to do so, but they came up with the wrong identity both times.
We had a thread recently that was downvoted over 25 times by the same user creating multiple alts. Fortunately they were detected and all their accounts were banned and they have since left Lemmy – Turns out they have been using these bots for almost two years to make all their comments viral.
So pathetic looool
it really should be an achievement badge.
Now, I am not saying this is wrong or anything but earlier today I saw a post for Lemvotes, checked it out and it was showing that I have down voted every single post and comment I’ve ever viewed. I rarely vote in either direction, so I don’t think it’s currently working right.
Same. It also appears to list downvotes first, so any long list that gets truncated might look like a downvote machine.
Ctrl-End and it’ll take you to the bottom where your upvotes are. No clue why it sorts that way.
I’m Lemvotes’s dev, would you prefer to have it sort purely by the time of publication?
That would seem more like people would expect.
I’ll add a toggle for it.

Is someone mad that their bomber fleet was rapidly disassembled?
meta: I hate how threadiverse.link works. the “just take me there” button does not work without scripts and cookies. it would be useful, but e.g. for me it’s just in the way
I honestly couldn’t care less how polite they are. If you are denying or justifying genocide or other mass human suffering, it doesn’t matter how polite you are.
Politeness absolutely does matter. What you see as genocide others get reported as freedom fighting. It is impossible for the lies to dissipate if there is no communication between both sides, and it’s impossible for this to happen without politeness.
There has been a pinned thread on [email protected] where the mod asks people to stop reporting everything they don’t like.
I wonder if these two cases are connected.
Is that a trait typically assigned to them, or just a self-claimed virtue? In either case, the facade has always seemed flimsy and of poor construction.
It’s typically assigned, which if you compare to other .ml’ers like BrainInABox they are rather respectful. But as we can see, it’s only on the surface lol
Everytime you post Tankies go above and beyond to downvote just for you lol.
Wait we aren’t reporting everything we don’t like with the goal to censor the content?!!?
It’s such an obvious charade when a thread he comments in a place that is a propaganda hotspot turns into a weird let’s begin praising Cowbee personality cult. The downvote brigade on this thread just confirms it. Three instances made just to out yourselves, brilliant thinking there.
I’m recycling a removed response I made to Cowbee (talking about hexbear) since for some reason my app decided to show me a nearly one year old thread and I was way to focused in my reply to notice that, got reported and a mod came to remove my comment.
I went through the hassle of debunking every single one of his points and would like the comment to be at least still visible to the public.
They (Hexbear) oppose Capitalism They claim to oppose capitalism, but they support China, which is a state-capitalist authoritarian regime. And no, they’re not “transitioning” — but you’ll notice they never acknowledge this contradiction. They also support Russia, an oligarchic, kleptocratic, imperialistic, and authoritarian state currently involved in an unjustified war and genocide.
They oppose colonialism Their opposition to colonialism is selective and convenient. While they criticize colonialism, they actively cheer on countries like Russia, China, and the USSR, which have engaged (and continue to) in their own forms of imperialism.
They oppose Imperialism They claim to oppose imperialism, yet they downplay the situation in Ukraine, falsely labeling it as Nazi-infested. This helps justify their support for Russia’s expansionist war, even in the face of ongoing genocide.
They oppose bigotry They support the Iranian regime and love praising groups who bolster fascist Islamic ideologies.
They support Socialism In reality, they support authoritarianism, not socialism. Their version of socialism is one that upholds control and oppression, not liberation or equality.
They support Communism Similar to their stance on socialism, their support for communism is purely theoretical. In practice, they endorse authoritarian regimes that suppress freedom and dissent.
They support Anarchism Despite claiming to support anarchism, they would quickly turn on anyone who even remotely identifies with anarchist principles. Their values directly contradict those of anarchism, which is rooted in anti-authoritarianism and decentralization.
They read Marx, Lenin, Goldman and share memes based on Marxist theory. They pretend to engage with the works of Marx, Lenin, and Goldman. In reality, they use their ideas as a platform to spam communities with incoherent diatribes, angry rants, and memes to confuse and intimidate anyone who dares challenge their views. All of the questions Cowbee ask and the discussions he tries to provoke are just stalling tactics. His main goal is to discourage others from debunking his propaganda. I strongly advise anyone reading this to avoid engaging with this user or even better just block him. His so-called “niceness” is just a façade. He has no intention of genuinely listening to or debating opposing views. His objective is clear: to spread propaganda and manipulate others into accepting his narrative and by extension, China’s and Russia’s narrative.
it was from the following thread
https://lemmy.ml/comment/9954806
sorry for the wall of text but I felt it necessary as each and every point I made still stands
Yeah I’m pretty sure this is a pattern, I’ve also criticized Cowbee and had every one of my comments removed while theirs are still up.
What was the original comment they made?
I don’t see a lot of reports. What are we looking at here? Who said what?
Cowbee reported $something for racism, mods banned Cowbee with the reason that $something was anti-CPP, not racist, and presumably this isn’t the first time (otherwise it wouldn’t be ‘abuse’). It would help if we new what $something was
What were the comments? Criticism of the CCP often veers towards sino-phobia so I’d be curious how much of a stretch was being made to warrant a ban.

Oh, this shit is great. You can see the contradictions.
https://lemmy.ml/comment/18987114
Public Ownership is not Socialism itself, but a component of a Socialist economy. An economy where public ownership controls the large firms and key industries, ie has genuine political control, is Socialist.
https://lemmy.ml/comment/18996384
China is a Socialist country run by a Communist party, which is why the overwhelming majority of major Communist orgs recognize it as such. The economy is dominated by the public sector, which controls the large majority of key industries and large firms.
Nothing screams “the public has genuine political control” like having a single political party which unilaterally bans a cartoon bear because it was compared the head of state.
The comments they replied to don’t really seem that way, but elsewhere in that thread looks like the usual type of stuff that .ml communities would Rule 1 pretty quickly. But I’m sure Cowbee knows that’s allowed in that instance and community and the mods know he knows too.

Yeah I think the bad vibes there is the implicit racism from that user.
