Vote manipulation by a single lemmy.world account (hackertalks.com)

Hello - Please take a look at @[email protected] . They have downvoted every single post in 3 communities (over 200 posts) in a very narrow window of time. They either automated their voting, or they are very focused

The username associated with every vote, up or down, is available through the ActivityPub API. If your instance doesn't show them (and I believe lemmy instances don't by default) some helpful soul has built a tool to view them. Sometimes it fails for reasons unknown, but it lets you see who's up or down voted a particular post or comment. I believe nom-lemmy interfaces like kbin also show you that information.

Hi, I made this tool. What posts don't work? And I am aware the user option doesn't work, I'm working on fixing it.

Thanks for making it, it's a really handy tool for understanding who's responding to posts.

One post I can't get the votes for is: https://lemm.ee/post/24727759 I'm guessing that's because the community is on a different server, but I can't see an obvious way to get a link to the comment on it's home server when I'm browsing mine. It would be great if there's a way to resolve the correct server via the API, or at least report why it couldn't get the votes.

This post is older than my instance, that's why votes won't fetch

Aha! That makes sense. Thanks again for a handy tool.
