    Brigaders.

    People with like 10 accounts that upvote themselves/downvote dissent.

      Kbin votes are public so we can see brigades in action.

      Apparently Lemmy votes are too but it’s not accessible in the native interface, only from Kbin. Maybe a third party client will implement it.

        It’s super obvious when it happens to you, but it’s not obvious when you see it in the wild. It would be a great improvement to the site to just show the users who downvoted/upvoted.

          It really is. I’ve seen people being called out for doing it on kbin because we can literally see a list of users who upvoted.

      I also noticed sometimes after getting into an argument it’s like they go through my profile and start downvoting everything. I feel like any vote that comes from someone’s profile (rather than in the wild) should be flagged as suspicious because it feels like they’re never genuine.
