Great to see all this growth and activity in different lemmy instances!
Propaganda, brigading, post votes manipulation, and once accounts are “established” they could be sold for astroturfing.
I’ve noticed weird vote counts, and sometimes it’s clearly a bug. But do you think a small number of downvotes that make no sense would be bots? Or just trolls?
