    I just checked your post history, it’s crazy how your posts are getting mass downvoted. Keep up the good work my man!

    They should know better, you obviously have a good keyboard and lots of free time. I wouldn’t mess with you and I’ve been boxing for 20 years.

    I’ve just had .ml blocked for a long time and life’s been good. I would prefer defederation. If put democratically, I’m sure that’s what would be voted for as well.

        .world isn’t defederated from .ml? I thought it was, for some reason… Well, it is the admin instance so, I guess.

          I wish lol, yea world did defederate with the rest of the triad, but .ml is generally left because

          Its the dev instance and they run official Lemmy dev/support comms from there, they still have a few big comms and some of the only niche comms (both issues I aim to address through cross-posting) and they “keep the mask on” more and keep things subtle to avoid larger defed movements

      Generally it’s because they have their hatred of .ml as the driving force of half their free time. It’s weird and off-putting.

        Not sure about half their free time, but it does seem that anti-.ml sentiment is the reason, yes.

    I’m new here and still grasping the way the fediverse works.

    Is this basically saying 3 user accounts were made for the mass downvoting or what’s happening?

      Instances are more like servers or domains. Your instance is lemmy.world. We can see votes from individual users because votes to federate across instances, (like if you, on lemmy.world, were to vote on my instance, lemmy.dbzer0). In order for that federation to happen, the votes must be public. So anyone with the know-how can inspect who has voted on posts, and how they have voted.

      Someone spun up three entire instances and mass created dozens of accounts on each, just to mass downvote. It’s just blatant vote manipulation, and is why the admin stepped in to defederate (stop sending info back and forth) from the rogue instances.

      You see stuff like that occasionally from the “tankie triad” instances, (lemmy.ml, hexbear.net, and lemmygrad) but they’re usually more subtle about it to avoid instantly getting defederated.

      Little bit more.

      Someone made 3 servers, then a bunch of accounts on those servers, then used all of those accounts to downvote.

      Allegedly because I ain’t got the time to manually verify that myself.

      Servers, not users. Though each server would have users.

      Although I don’t think they’re bots like the post is implying. OP just spends a lot of time annoying them.

      What do people said, but since you’re new, here’s a recap post on what the whole Tankie situation is about (if you didn’t encounter them on Reddit lol

    lol

    furthermore: lmao

    It will never not be funny to me that some people are so chronically online they think everyone else gives as much of a fuck about made up internet points as they do, and more, will go to such an extraordinary effort on a site which doesn’t have cumulative karma like reddit did. which they are either too stupid to realize or too angry to care. these guys not only need to touch grass, they need to go disappear into the woods and become one with nature for a few weeks.

    lastly, ow, fuck, my sides!
