We had a couple of reports today of vote manipulation happening in the Australia community. After investigating, I’m seeing a trend:

aussie.zone/post/21124048
aussie.zone/post/21194319
aussie.zone/post/21130833
The votes in all these posts look like this. In this example, only two of the downvotes look legitimate. The rest are coming from three instances that don’t appear to be real Lemmy sites. One of them doesn’t even resolve.

Is it possible to have code to automatically block fake instances that don’t resolve?
