How frequent are alt-downvotes?
Yep, used to be very frequent. They're easy to spot because they're either no content accounts, or old accounts, with maybe 1 comment per month. We permaban them as they add nothing of value.
Makes sense!
They get Rule 4, “No Ads / Spamming,” because they’re spamming votes.
Isn't that just lurking behaviour?
If they are, its impossible to distinguish them from the targeted downvote bots ppl have written for lemmy.
Not as frequent as they used to be.
Gotcha.
