I see shit posts, I downvote. Maybe there’s a string of them in my fred and I wind up downvoting a few in a row, but that’s it. No bulk operations, no scheming.

See here's the thing. I don't believe you and I don't think anyone with two brain cells does either, every person engaged in vote manipulation tells the same story. Actions speak louder than words and your actions point to you maliciously downvoting large amounts of items in communities, or targeting specific users. It's useless to lie about this because mods can see votes on posts directly, there's literally a view votes button in Lemmy UI, and admins can view your Database contributions.

I have no reason to lie about this.

That's really funny because even if you're as dull as you seem even you know this is untrue. If one openly admitted to mass downvoting or worse, vote manipulation they would find themselves very swiftly banned, even on a skeptical instance who's admins give way too much courtesy. And you're a well known troll, which doesn't help your cause either.

Now please stop making shit up about me.

No, sorry. I'm not going to stop saying things you don't like, because they are true. The numbers speak for themselves, you can argue until you're blue in the face that they don't but we can literally see them, I've posted pictures of the Vote View UI showing all votes on a post, every mod on Lemmy can do this, every mod can catch you in the act. It's a bad time to be an abusive voter on Lemmy.

I’ve been banned without explanation for “vote manipulation,” but never did anything of the sort.

Feining ignorance isn't going to help you. Mods can see your votes, you decided that without any activity you were going to downvote hundreds of posts across a handful of communities, the mods noticed you doing this and banned your ass to put a stop to it. Here's a tip, mods can ban you without submissions because of a little thing known as Tesseract, want to stop getting banned? Start blocking communities you dislike instead of trying to brigade them.

Because we don't know the prompt, exact model, or seed to regenerate it exactly but without the shine. Also because they're a well known and well recognized troll in what is, an AI friendly instance, see their modlog. They've been banned from several communities for vote manipulation.

Here's mine, (right now anyway, doesn't stay the same for long) 185.220.101.21, come show up to... some datacenter in Germany...

Also I'm not sure if dbzer0 saves those persistently or clears them out often. If they do clear them then it probably doesn't matter much.

I think it's something to be careful of though since mods and admins may yield to it out of fear or lack of knowledge and start going after criticism of Zionism thinking that it will be seen as antisemitism.

Their instance has the same Zionist policies as Feddit.org though.

Makes sense, they seemed iffy.

Yeah it sucks. This is actually my first real experience with Feddit.org and I'm already not liking what I'm seeing. Even if this isn't everything and everyone there I really don't want to associate with a Zionist friendly instance like that.

@fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com Found another genocide denying troll spewing Zionist whataboutism

Piracy was never stealing, anyone who said it was is either an idiot or a troll (those anti-piracy astroturfers would fall into the second category).

Yes banning people for votes, fraudulent, excessive, or made seeminly in bad faith is a thing. Mods can view votes these days but also admins have been able to view them for a long time.

I mean if people use a self-hosted model on their own GPU that's really their prerogative how they choose to use their GPU and the energy it uses.
