Lemmy! The place where everything is made up, and the points don't matter!

Who tf has time for that? The downvote button doesn't even work and upvotes mean nothing.

Sure. But votes aren't private or anonymous. Anyone on Kbin can see a list of every account that upvoted something, so it's easy to spot.

It's only a matter of time before someone writes a third party client that allows Lemmy users to do this as well.

Yes of course, having them on the same instance makes no sense.

I hate to break this to you, but there's only 43 people on lemmy at all. We're all just pretending to be everyone, including you.

You aren't you at all, you're a constructed personality inside someone's mind with a lifetime of false memories and a thin veneer of "free will" to give you the illusion of being a real person.

And of those 43, 42 are just multiple rats sharing a trenchcoat.

Absolutely!

That's one reason I love that there is no "karma" score on Lemmee. There's less incentive to recycle old memes, shill for upvotes, etc. But yeah for propaganda purposes, it can totally be done, probably is being done right now.

Who pays attention to votes?

PoliticalAgitator ,

On reddit, it was obvious that people would read the headline then check out the top comment to find out what their opinion of the headline should be.

How do I know you're not a bot sent here by Steve Huffman to sow discord and create chaos on Lemmy because he's a small petty man?

Hmm? 🧐

3volver OP ,

That is, indeed, my entire point. Thank you for reinforcing it.

3volver OP ,

The lack of meaningful proof that it's not the case, bring on the consistent downvotes.

3volver OP ,

Sure SatansMaggotyCumFart. How many other alts do you have?

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

By a strange coincidence, ninety-nine.

over_clox ,

You spelled sixty-eight wrong.

Nothing except the rules of most instances against vote manipulation. It's very easy to determine alts and votes on Lemmy aren't anonymous.

Instance admins can easily see who downvoted or upvoted what tho.

3volver OP ,

They made the mistake of downvoting me too many times too quickly.
