We had a couple of reports today of vote manipulation happening in the Australia community. After investigating, I'm seeing a trend:

The votes in all these posts look like this. In this example, only two of the downvotes look legitimate. The rest are coming from three instances that don't appear to be real Lemmy sites. One of them doesn't even resolve.

Please don't scare me with a title like that so soon after an election.

That sort of vote manipulation wouldn't be posted to this community. 😄

I'm a little surprised at how many people have seen this post. More people subscribe to Meta/browse Local than I would have guessed. Whichever it is, I love how engaged our users are in the health of the instance. You guys are great!

Right I was worried they would demand a redo and it might not go so well
