  This is how I do it but be aware voting through this method leads to shitty mods banning you under the pretence of drive by voting. Doesn’t stop me but just FYI.

      Their justification is you’re not a participant in the community, yet you’re voting. Of course theres 0 reflection on the content coming out of their subs and it has no weight the in decision.

      For brigading I can understand but a couple of mods have a very low bar for it. One banned me recently because of it. Likely because two low effort post made it to all in a short window from a meat base comm. I’ve downvoted vegan post more often back in the early days and they dgaf.

        Funnily enough I was just banned and blocked by a mod when I commented on a post mentioning that they’ve accidentally reposted an image they’ve already submitted. Kind of surprised since I recognized the username and thought they were decent enough as a user.

      I would be surprised if they haven’t automated it at this point. I’ve been meaning to post about it since it’s reeks of vote manipulation to me but I’ll give it some more time first.

  Ayy, this is the way (and once you view enough you switch to hot and then to active, then you exit and return in ~40seconds and start over)
