In case anyone curious find this topic

Even crazier someone who keeps accusing others of being bots despite being “active” most of your posts is about telling others are bots so much it looks like its just for the sake of boosting your activity, you even have a warning icon on PieFed.

OP ([email protected]) history is 1 post upvote 3 comments downvote, so theres an easy simple explanation to your accusation but you went on it anyway for someone who has been around 2 years in this one at least strangely weird to make such statements on someone who simply appear to just not be so active. Your ([email protected] ‘’s) history is quite strange on another hand, boosting activity by just making statements like these and having a total of 211 post upvotes 13324 post downvotes 475 comment upvotes 1187 comment downvotes as the time of this writing.

For every post upvote you downvote 63 others, and for every two comment upvote you downvote 5 others. Crazy how no one pointed that out to you yet huh.

You have commented before and even if you didn’t, your voting history is extremely regular next to people like the one in the post or someone like [email protected] notice the downvote to upvote ratio and timestamp of each voting

this looks similar to [email protected]

I mean it seems like a way to boycott people using PieFed by using voting how it’s not meant to be and affect the reach of posts to PieFed users since they may get hidden from the feed if those kind of people downvote posts very early on and make it only visible on Lemmy side since this hiding posts isn’t a default thing like it is on PieFed.

Is there no kind of Downvote Nerf Lists, for like, putting users who acts like this to not count their downvotes just for you (however visible to everyone else), or is it a not feasible thing?

Does shadowban exist on PieFed? An issue i kept noticing while using Lemmy for a while are people gaming the vote system and it got worse (or maybe it’s just my impression) after PieFed surged so I could imagine some Lemmings are doing this to try to affect PieFed’s reach system of hiding posts after downvotes.. there are Lemmings with no commebt or posts made but thousands of downvotes in neutral topics in the Threadiverse, and some calling out bots however when you check their voting history they have been misusing their votes you can notice more than 5 different post (not comments) downvotes within the same minute
