Both mods are also moderators of announcements@discuss.online; they are admins, this is their instance, and they are engaging in vote tampering to boost their instance and its communities over the rest of the fediverse.

dbzer0 manipulates votes all the time, good job, @jgrim@discuss.online @m_f@discuss.online
I don't understand what you think this has to do with dbzer0? The majority of the bans are not even from that instance; only 4 out of the 18 people in the screenshot are dbzer0 users.
Just sharing that users from dbzer0 regularly manipulate votes and also create many fake accounts
okay cheers for the heads up - just to be clear, this is my only account and I hope I'll always have better things to do than try to manipulate votes on lemmy lol :D
There's absolutely no punishment for having multiple accounts and not really any way to verify alt usage without admitting you use them. So if you can't beat them, join them, make a few accounts and engage in some of it yourself.
don't even know why Lemmy insists on being like preddit and having downvotes to begin with.
it's all just pixels afterall
haha yeah I understand, I just don't engage with lemmy much more than reading the main feed and making the occasional comment or post.
And while I dont have a strong opinion on whether downvotes should be allowed or not, I do think that if they are allowed then they should be allowed equally on every federated instance. Otherwise the instances that dont allow them will get an undeserved boost in visibility. I've dealt the same issue by threelonmusketeers and a now defunct conservative instance. It's unhealthy when admins or mods put their thumb on the scales like that.
Reminder that Goat is banned from db0 for:
goat@lemmy.zipAnd that goat has said that he doesn't care about genocide, has used racial slurs for Muslims (sands--t) and bans users for saying "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free."
That's why he brought them up for no reason. He doesn't like to be proven wrong or called out for his explicit racism.
Can't wait for goat to reply to this and say that documenting his own actions and words being documented are Tankie.

Yeah I have no time for bigots, FREE PALESTINE <3 thanks for the additional context
You're quite welcome
So you think a couple people all upviting the same comments in a thread is conclusive proof of vote manipulation???
Oh wait, it's goat.

And your proof of this is. A handful of votes from established, longstanding, legitimate users?
