Moderation of bad actors. Not just people who are assholes, or people who post spam, but I mean astroturfing and vote manipulation schemes that cross instances.

I’ve been followed around by a set of accounts who never post and never comment but downvote everything I comment. I have zero ways to report them directly. They were consistently downvoting a set of accounts including me and upvoting a different set of accounts. I DM’d 3 admins but the only attention I got was from a dedicated comm mod who could only ban them from a few comms and they talked to their admin on my behalf.

https://lemvotes.org/ paints a picture of a vote manipulation ring but all I could do was manually message people who couldn’t be bothered. I couldn’t care less they were downvoting me, I have nothing important to say, but the fake engagement around who they were boosting didn’t sit right with me.

This sort of sums up my experience: https://lemmy.zip/comment/29353636 and it’s corresponding https://lemvotes.org/comment/lemmy.zip/comment/29353636

It sucks that America is Brazil’s Argentina.

The H3 cheating scandal. Everybody involved sucks.

Does he not realize he’s the prime mascot for underperforming men?

Our government is large enough to do multiple things. This narrow-sightedness only risks our democracy.

I don’t like that “knowing about AI” is linked with knowing about AI execs. They don’t know shit. They think smoking is cool again. There’s a senior dev somewhere who hasn’t seen sunlight this week, I want to hear what they have to say.

Bomb another data center

How do they have the battery for this?

My biggest hassle with the old splinter cells (everything up to and including chaos theory) is the the lack of controller support on PC. Steam’s community layouts didn’t work as well as I’d hoped.

This feels like the crux of the whole argument to me. DOGE didn’t “advise” at all. We were bombarded with news about what DOGE was doing not recommending. They had a (lying) wall of receipts, not a wall of kindly worded letters.

I was raised baptist. There’s a difference between events of the bible and what christians are commanded to do. Frankly I don’t give a rat’s ass anymore.

With a commandment stating “though shalt not kill” you’d think partitioning good kills from bad kills would be a non-starter

Hilarious that the church thinks it can step in and dictate which killings their god endorses

They know Democrat infighting is the only chance they have

Preaching to the choir. Let me know when an admin cares about vote manipulation. The 3 I’ve messaged don’t respond.

My message to demigodrick

Cant report the downvote trolls that never comment or post

Ask me how I know

Why? Does he want to buy diesel from them?

If they don’t respect the art enough to properly create it, then I’m not going to respect it either.
