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

Nah, next time I would probably just report communities like that to instance admins to hopefully have a better effect. The broader point is that engagement with disinformation doesn't work; it amplifies it. It's why the far-right has surged globally: negative engagement with disinformation is engagement and fuels its reach, and disinformation is an order of magnitude easier to create than it is to debunk.

Downvoting is negative engagement.

As long as Lemmy is a place for different communities to exist our presence here is a net positive.
