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.

What a loser. Great to see this kind of thing gets discovered, it was one of my concerns when joining Lemmy (and one of my motivations for leaving sites like reddit).
