ITT severe kamalacaust/lib cope.
Is there any actual evidence of downvotes?
So, you’re going to just declare the admins of multiple instances just lying about things then?

https://fun.with.kyun.li/All came online within the day it happened and all are now offline now that they’ve been widely defederated from and useless. With notable mentions to downvote troll accounts @FourGreenFields@feddit.org and @TheDregg@lemmy.world who were also banned
FR Fuck Tankies lol
I even get downvotes on stuff like “racism is bad”.
No you don’t lmao. Stop lying.
Yea no, he’s not. Anybody who starts becoming a thorn in the side of Lemmy tankies starts having perfectly innocuous posts and comments getting downvoted
You’re literally on a post about Tankies making three whole instances full of fake users to mass downvote me because I speak out and collect evidence against them
And there are so many others before me with similar stories.

Maybe the tankies aren’t the problem?
LMAO, yea sure buddy. Even though they were doing something from the top 5 shit things you could do to the Lemmy-verse, they’re “not the problem” lolol
Everytime I checked downvotes on anyone’s posts, they came from .world. And the instances referenced were here before .world, since the admins are the ones who, checks notes, created Lemmy.
I’ve seen admins claim a handful of users/ipaddresses are responsible for 90% of all downvotes and it was not World.
Although, World is a very active and popular instance for being vanilla but also defederating from Hex and Grad.
admins claim
LMAO, if you’re going to be a Tankie/Tankie apologist at least pay attention. The meme isn’t about the Tankie Triad, it’s about 3 just a few days old instances. Which you would know if you’d bother to follow the context link and put in some effort.
you should say “racism bad” and see how many people ironically downvote for the lolz
Yeah the last decade has been pretty good evidence that people pretending to be CHUDs online are CHUDs IRL
I’d say about 70% of my comments have exactly 1 or 2 downvotes. Just the other day I said “lmao, nice” on a post about the IRS open-sourcing tax software and it got a downvote.

Not a tankie, but maybe people just downvote that kind of low effort spam.
You’re a prolific poster. It’s possible they just recognize your username and vote based on their opinion of you alone, without reading each post.
That’s likely what’s at work with these things. I even got a few chronic haters that downvote just about everything I write, even when it’s calling out racism. They’ll downvote criticism of Nazis in the effort, even.
He steals half of it from the instances he hates.
I think Lemmy libs are the most embarrassing group of 40 year old dorks this earth has ever seen.
I’m not convinced you think
I hate to ask, but can someone help me understand what .ml is doing differently? And what’s a tankie? Genuinely asking
Here’s a recap post
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.
Thanks! (Tanks?)
The moniker Tankie is a reference to the Tiananmen Square Massacre because of their minimalizing or outright denials regarding the incident.
It predates that, actually. Goes back to the USSR sending tanks into Eastern Europe to put down rebellion.
Yep, the Prague spring.
No, it was coined for those who supported the soviet invasions of Hungary and czechoslovakia in 1956 and 1968.
Anywhere on Lemmy
Man, I’m bored, guess I’ll fuck with tankies.
clears throat
Ukraine didn’t start the war.
Which works better? Russophobia or sinophobia? Do you just got full USA nationalist/imperialist or what? It looks like most people here are more into the sinophobia.
Those tankies gonna be so mad! lmao!!! \s
oh so you just hate Russians and Chinese, eh!?
Nope, the US is a police state that funds genocide. You’re either against all of the tyranny or none of it, and none of the three are getting any excuse from me.
Fuck Russia, China, Israel and America, and if anyone else wants to flash some fasc, fuck them too.
Kinda curious where these ‘tankies’ are from and their line of thoughts
Yesterday was tianmen square day, what do you think about Tianmen square?
(Yughurs are also a nice litmus test)
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml @yogthos@lemmy.ml china is an authoritarian dictatorship, a surveillance state with no private life whatsoever. china is not communist, and attempts at free speech is punished
let the downvotes pour!

China is a dictatorship.
Vodka is a Ukrainian spirit
I have been banned from .ml twice for stating that Russia shot down a civilian aircraft over Ukraine.
I mean… Who fucking cares?
The people who are too stupid or incompetent to fact check basic things.
Those without critical thinking skills
It kind of affects all of us if people (barely) are manipulating the feeds in broad daylight.
Well all of them shut down yesterday AND one of them, started a new instance in its place. already defederated, but curious…
lol
furthermore: lmao
It will never not be funny to me that some people are so chronically online they think everyone else gives as much of a fuck about made up internet points as they do, and more, will go to such an extraordinary effort on a site which doesn’t have cumulative karma like reddit did. which they are either too stupid to realize or too angry to care. these guys not only need to touch grass, they need to go disappear into the woods and become one with nature for a few weeks.
lastly, ow, fuck, my sides!
Upvotes and downvotes are made up internet points that decide sorting in the feeds.
It might not mean much if your opinion is popular or unpopular but when some individual loser wants to make you unseen that feels like a problem.
oh yeah, I’ll bet OP feels very unseen right now, with their nearly 500 net upvotes and ~70 comments on this post.
Point being, said loser has failed miserably to do anything other than make themselves look more like a loser.
Since your instance or app doesnt show downvotes, it currently has 627 upvotes and 77 Downvotes. When I first came across it they had 250 to 55.
But if you checked his context link you would see that they literally made brand new instances just to downvote this man for collecting evidence on their shittiness.
Ml, hex… what’s the third suppose to be?
No, it’s just new instances to easily create accounts in (why would those three be new when they’re literally older than .world?)
Is it to like muddy the waters? I can make 500 accounts on my instance if I wanted to?
Lemmygrad
I thought that was a nickname for .ml
It is just defederated everywhere, so most don’t see their posts anymore.
It sort of is, I think the same people run it, but its also a seperate domain where they take the masks off.
Oh, it’s been so long since the last time I saw something from that instance that I totally forgot them
Thanks
I highly recommend. russia is a state of insane.
mass downvotes mean so little on a site where posts get at most 13 comments
And deleted in a couple days.
I’m new here and still grasping the way the fediverse works.
Is this basically saying 3 user accounts were made for the mass downvoting or what’s happening?
Servers, not users. Though each server would have users.
Although I don’t think they’re bots like the post is implying. OP just spends a lot of time annoying them.
Instances are more like servers or domains. Your instance is lemmy.world. We can see votes from individual users because in order for votes to federate across instances, (like if you, on lemmy.world, were to vote on my instance, lemmy.dbzer0) they must be public. So anyone with the know-how can inspect who has voted on posts, and how they have voted.
Someone spun up three entire instances and mass created dozens of accounts on each, just to mass downvote. It’s just blatant vote manipulation, and is why the admin stepped in to defederate (stop sending info back and forth) from the rogue instances.
What do people said, but since you’re new, here’s a recap post on what the whole Tankie situation is about (if you didn’t encounter them on Reddit lol
That “recap post” from you looks alot more like you attacking tankies than vice versa.
Collects and documents a (long) list of evidence of their harmful pro-Russia/pro-NK/pro-CCP propaganda pushing and censorship
You: WhY arE yOU atTacKiNg ThE pOoR TaNKies
Little bit more.
Someone made 3 servers, then a bunch of accounts on those servers, then used all of those accounts to downvote.
Allegedly because I ain’t got the time to manually verify that myself.
Thanks for the elaborating.
I’m banned from 1 of 3…
… so far.
Rookie numbers.
Try harder, bud.
I’ve just had .ml blocked for a long time and life’s been good. I would prefer defederation. If put democratically, I’m sure that’s what would be voted for as well.
Yeah me too. There’s very little value to justify keeping them in my feeds. As soon as there is a decent alternative to lemmy I’m leaving.
🥴💦
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
