There's already loads of upvote/downvote bots in the fediverse here - would not be shocked if a large portion of them are from governments
There are not loads of upvote/downvote bots on Lemmy… yet. We admins see all the votes; we see the patterns.
Id be surprised if all admins of every instance that's federated with Lemmy are all on the same page, let alone looking for narrative driven bots.
I see "Ukrainian combat footage" with hundreds of upvotes and no comments, there was also an article speaking positively about facebook that had lots of upvotes and no comments (it's in my history of you look, because I commented lol) - those look like red flags to me
I don't find the first strange, but I also find combat footage both interesting and not worth commenting on. Plus I think a lot of people just upvote Ukraine stuff and move along because there's no more conversation to be had in general.
That second one does seem a little weird, but Lemmy's more than capable of licking corporate boot when you phrase it correctly to them. I've always found that strange in general.
You must be getting botted right now, amirite?
