I don’t understand what you think this has to do with dbzer0? The majority of the bans are not even from that instance; only 4 out of the 18 people in the screenshot are dbzer0 users.

Just sharing that users from dbzer0 regularly manipulate votes and also create many fake accounts

okay cheers for the heads up - just to be clear, this is my only account and I hope I’ll always have better things to do than try to manipulate votes on lemmy lol :D

There’s absolutely no punishment for having multiple accounts and not really any way to verify alt usage without admitting you use them. So if you can’t beat them, join them, make a few accounts and engage in some of it yourself.
don’t even know why Lemmy insists on being like preddit and having downvotes to begin with.
it’s all just pixels afterall

It’s all just pixels until you help manufacturing consent for attrocities am I right

haha yeah I understand, I just don’t engage with lemmy much more than reading the main feed and making the occasional comment or post.
And while I dont have a strong opinion on whether downvotes should be allowed or not, I do think that if they are allowed then they should be allowed equally on every federated instance. Otherwise the instances that dont allow them will get an undeserved boost in visibility. I’ve dealt the same issue by threelonmusketeers and a now defunct conservative instance. It’s unhealthy when admins or mods put their thumb on the scales like that.
