Comment on Vote fuzzing. Are we seriously doing this here now too??
beneeney@lemm.ee 3 months agoWhat is the comment in particular? It is possible that someone was sorting by new comments on the front page, which would show your comment regardless of the original post’s age. Or it could have been some odd cache anomaly, but there is definitely no vote fuzzing on Lemmy.

The comment was “Shrek must’ve had a GoPro strapped around his belly” BRB I will link it here…
okay I’m glad to hear there is no vote fuzzing here, so maybe it was some odd bug, or if perchance someone was sorting by new comments on the front page, it must’ve been FOUR PEOPLE all at once because suddenly I had 5 points and then suddenly it went back to 1.

Keep in mind it can take a few minutes or longer for some votes to come in from other instances due to how federation works. Sometimes a group of votes can get backlogged and all come in at once. Other times they’ll show instantly. It’s just a minor tradeoff to using decentralized social media

Yes, that makes sense. The problem is there shouldn’t have been any upvotes at all. and certainly not 5 all at once this morning that suddenly disappeared. It should’ve been an old abandoned post pretty much. But now that I’ve brought yall’s attention to it, any upvotes that might happen from this point forward I’d consider inorganic, So we can’t really study this particular matter now.
