  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, 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.

    So where can we see this?

  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.

    Crucial footnote.

  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.

  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 looks alot more like you attacking tankies than vice versa.
