I am curious what can be done about the Lemmy.World era of botting corpo comments to protect their investments?

Anything remotely federated w/ LW has a massive hard-on for corporations (anti-piracy boot-lickers only added us back when we had the largest community in the fediverse), racism (you ain’t american, you aint right), a desire to troll/argue in bad faith, and a general “fuck you, I have 500 accounts to down-vote with.”

I myself have over 60 accounts on Lemmy.World; and because of that, I am 100% certain somebody has a type of SMM portal to scan for keywords and upvote/downvote accordingly.

Don’t believe me?

Go post about Apple, Facebook, Tesla, or any other 1% owned entity, and watch which accounts upvote/downvote in less time than required to read the post.

    Just watching this from a downvote-disabled instance that requires registration approval.

      This problem also just continues to grow.

      The longer an established instance has the appearance of a large userbase, the worse it’s going to be to claw back that access now that millions of (real) accounts will decide on their echo chamber over yours…

        Just to be clear, this isn’t an echo chamber, users are free to use words to express opposition. Lazy downvotes are ignored. Bots are a non-issue.
