Needed a pickling mix recipe I remembered only vaguely, but before I navigated to the community that held it, I noticed how horrifically botted the front page was. I did a cursory account check of the posts on the top sort and found that nearly half of the front page was comprised of bot posts or bot boosted accounts. Which is, under no uncertain terms, horrific.
Lemmy has its issues, but how someone could see this toxic landfill and choose to plant their flag there, I don’t understand. Glad to be amongst the people who cannot tolerate this.
It doesn’t show any info of that sort, just account vote histories to reference. People here generally aren’t careful enough to hide it well.
Are you saying there’s a way to upvote yourself multiple times from your own account? Because Reddit doesn’t allow that at all.
Not as far as I know, no. Just multiple accounts, same as most websites.
Then how does Lemmyvotes show self upvoting? The accounts that upvote could be followers.
You’d have to follow up with each individual account. If you’re asking for something non-heuristic, that’s a conversation for the devs
Then I’m really confused by your first reply:
" Lemvotes.org. No hiding it here. "
Bots seem to be just as hidden on Lemmy as reddit.
