Here is an example of the coordinated downvoting https://hackertalks.com/post/8692093

Of course its a controversial user who got someone angry enough to automated downvoting [email protected]

But you can see every post they make gets 53ish downvotes from these two instances, plus some organic ones after a few hours.

A individual user airing their personal biases and manipulating lemmy isn't good for the community, regardless of how you feel about their target. This is a really bad thing (tm)

It's bad I have to ask this since I've been here almost 2 years BUUUUT

Is this something I do as an individual account or is this something that will be done by the shitjustworks admin?

Defederation is done at the instance level by an admin. I don't think you need to take any action as an individual, unless it comes up as an issue to vote on in the [email protected].

This should be posted to the Agora, I think.

After some investigation, we have defederated from both instances. I created a post in the Agora community in case people want to discuss it further: https://sh.itjust.works/post/35952149
