Here is an example of the coordinated downvoting https://hackertalks.com/post/8692093

Of course its a controversial user who got someone angry enough to automated downvoting @[email protected]

But you can see every post they make gets 53ish downvotes from these two instances, plus some organic ones after a few hours.

A individual user airing their personal biases and manipulating lemmy isn't good for the community, regardless of how you feel about their target. This is a really bad thing (tm)

Not sure if this community was the best place to post this, but yeah, that seems like a bad thing. Thanks for pointing it out. I do find it funny how most of the bot names follow the AdjectiveNounNumber format.

Lemmings of all instances, you may want to let your local admins know of this potential issue.

Here's a link to the megathread of support/meta communities for each instance: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40519876

You should be able to find your instance's support/meta community in the list and cross-post OP's post to it.

At this point I would probably just link this post on the Lemmy Defense HQ Matrix chat, most of the admins are there

Eh, poorly delivered joke I was attempting as a way to note that your comment was indecipherable to my simpleton brain.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I was trying to think of the right community for this... its not fedidrama, I want to target moderators and admins... is there a better community?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We need a lemmyadmin community.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There's already a chat Matrix where admins coordinate

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I saw in a comment you made, but one where discussions could be public would be nice.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Discussions are public, everyone can join that chat.

Edit: LW announcement: https://lemmy.world/post/5041072

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

None of the links there are letting me in,

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just DM'd you on Matrix, let's see how we can make this work

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

If you're talking about the defense room, it's invite only. I can invite @[email protected] if needed

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Ah, makes sense, I didn't notice. There are a lot of people there, I assumed it was public

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Its not letting me into any LW matrix room.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I sent an invite to you just now. Try to join
