FR Fuck Tankies lol
I even get downvotes on stuff like "racism is bad".
I hate to ask, but can someone help me understand what .ml is doing differently? And what's a tankie? Genuinely asking
Here's a recap post
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.
Anywhere on Lemmy
Man, I'm bored, guess I'll fuck with tankies.
clears throat
Ukraine didn't start the war.
China is a dictatorship.
Vodka is a Ukrainian spirit
I have been banned from .ml twice for stating that Russia shot down a civilian aircraft over Ukraine.
I mean... Who fucking cares?
It kind of affects all of us if people (barely) are manipulating the feeds in broad daylight.
Well all of them shut down yesterday AND one of them, started a new instance in its place. already defederated, but curious...
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!
Upvotes and downvotes are made up internet points that decide sorting in the feeds.
It might not mean much if your opinion is popular or unpopular but when some individual loser wants to make you unseen that feels like a problem.
Ml, hex... what's the third suppose to be?
Lemmygrad
I thought that was a nickname for .ml
It sort of is, I think the same people run it, but its also a seperate domain where they take the masks off.
Oh, it's been so long since the last time I saw something from that instance that I totally forgot them
Thanks
I highly recommend. russia is a state of insane.
mass downvotes mean so little on a site where posts get at most 13 comments
And deleted in a couple days.
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?
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.
Instances are more like servers or domains. Your instance is lemmy.world. We can see votes from individual users because votes 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. This prevents a rogue instance from just lying and telling other instances “yeah all my shit is super upvoted” and pushing itself to the top, or inversely pushing others down by spoofing downvotes. It also allows instances to properly block banned users; If I’m banned from a community/instance, my individual votes shouldn’t count towards it. So anyone with the know-how can inspect which individual users have 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.
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
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.
Thanks for the elaborating.
I'm banned from 1 of 3...
... so far.
Rookie numbers.
Try harder, bud.
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.
