      Yea no, he’s not. Anybody who starts becoming a thorn in the side of Lemmy tankies starts having perfectly innocuous posts and comments getting downvoted

      You’re literally on a post about Tankies making three whole instances full of fake users to mass downvote me because I speak out and collect evidence against them

      And there are so many others before me with similar stories.

        Maybe the tankies aren’t the problem?

        Everytime I checked downvotes on anyone’s posts, they came from .world. And the instances referenced were here before .world, since the admins are the ones who, checks notes, created Lemmy.

          I’ve seen admins claim a handful of users/ipaddresses are responsible for 90% of all downvotes and it was not World.

          Although, World is a very active and popular instance for being vanilla but also defederating from Hex and Grad.

          LMAO, if you’re going to be a Tankie/Tankie apologist at least pay attention. The meme isn’t about the Tankie Triad, it’s about 3 just a few days old instances. Which you would know if you’d bother to follow the context link and put in some effort.

      I’d say about 70% of my comments have exactly 1 or 2 downvotes. Just the other day I said “lmao, nice” on a post about the IRS open-sourcing tax software and it got a downvote.

        You’re a prolific poster. It’s possible they just recognize your username and vote based on their opinion of you alone, without reading each post.

          That’s likely what’s at work with these things. I even got a few chronic haters that downvote just about everything I write, even when it’s calling out racism. They’ll downvote criticism of Nazis in the effort, even.

        Not a tankie, but maybe people just downvote that kind of low effort spam.
