But john kerry doesnt seem to be the trigger.
Nvm, it seems to be john kerry without capital letters.
Switching their bot to another phrase would be trivial I guess
Just put a timer on upvotes. Any account that upvotes at the exact same time as x other accounts gets instabanned pending review.
it doesn't look that consistent to me. I think they're manually directing which posts get up voted by having one user do it by hand, and a script which upvotes whatever that user upvotes.
Well just figure out which user's doing it and DDOS them or some shit idfk how it actually works but its really pissing me off to keep seeing somebody get serious claims thrown their way that are genuinely dangerous.
Are they trying to make some sort of ideological point or just make browsing mildly more inconvenient?
edit: they're mad because someone is a pedo? Do I just go outside too much to know what the drama is?
Woah you triggered the bots. Who is supposed to be a pedo? What transphobia? Is this from the discord?
Maybe this is a bad take (and it's only loosely related) but I think the recent trend of people trying to "cancel" lgbt figures on really shaky or fabricated evidence really pokes a hole in the "believe all allegations" thing. I know there's kind of a divide between people who take that to mean "take all allegations seriously" and people who take it to mean "guilty until proven innocent," so I'm talking about the second one.
It's certainly the case that people who come out with sexual assault/harassment allegations face overwhelming hate and scorn, and it follows that it's very unlikely that a given accusation was "made up," but then you can look at James Charles, Alex Morse, Contrapoints (slightly different situation) as an example of a case with a totally different societal standard. Instead of being conditioned to hate and silence victim, society is conditioned to side against the LGBT person, and it turns into the right-wing fantasy where an accusation actually does have the power to ruin someone at the drop of a hat.
hahaha, understandable. sometimes its better to hang out with queer folx instead, nice to connect with the culture.
it's so much manual effort invested in something so pointless. I don't think they've stopped for a second to ask themselves what the point is, what they think they're going to accomplish. this is a plan with no step 2, just do random stuff because you're MAD and that's the end of the thought process.
I called in a favor with the People's Commissariat for Voluntary Celibacy. You personally get a pass for horniness.
Gritting my teeth, filling out the form and stamping the nametag: "It's for a comrade. It's for a comrade. It's for a comrade."
eh I kinda don't think these people are leftists, I think they're chuds or neolibs trying to exploit a weakness in this community. You said it yourself, there'd be some kind of effortpost by now if these were leftists.
Tbf, there were effort posts when the whole drama was starting on Discord and when the Lemmy first opened up. I just cant believe it's still going.
