Comment on you know what's mildly infuriating? a reposter bot

atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

For me it’s the apparent vote manipulation that is really pissing me off. At 40-50 posts a day it seems like they are a bot but they could also just have no life whatsoever or a really really boring job (or both).

But I keep seeing them hit the front page over and over with posts that have 40-50 upvotes in an hour and 0 comments. I just don’t see how that’s possible unless they are bot votes.

vote manipulation

could you clarify to me - what do you mean by vote manipulation? what potential interest could anyone possibly have from lemmy votes?

  I’m not sure how I could be any clearer about what I mean.

Usually my posts take at least 2 hours to get more than 30 upvotes so i guess, but also it seems that this community has a lil more users reacting

  Sure but this post also has 9 separate comment threads in 4 hours in addition to 70+ upvotes from what I can see. I’m not saying that every post is going to look the same but typically a highly upvoted post will have several comments. Given the typical ratio of comments to votes it seems like a weird pattern to me.
