News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

What's an ai callout? I looked up snack samurai based on you underlining them above and didn't see anything odd other than the account was 1month old.
1 month, many back to back incredibly high karma posts on samurai. Boofing bleach might be able to help them Scrape by.
AI callouts, as in accusations by users, which I corroborated to the best of my personal ability, of being an AI managed account.
High Karma sounds like a bot army. I see a smaller version on Lemmy where some users, no matter how deep in a thread, always get 4 upvotes instantly.
If you know the lemmy users’ names, you can check for yourself whether they’re voting themselves up. Lemvotes.org. No hiding it here.
Edit: unless they’re .ml. .ml blocked the instance responsible for this
Bot armies aren't users directly voting themselves. It's a bunch of random IPs that are owned or paid to vote.
How does Lemvotes show if you upvoted yourself? I just looked at it and it doesn't even show the IP of the voter which would cover the easiest abuse (multiple accounts on the same PC).
It doesn’t show any info of that sort, just account vote histories to reference. People here generally aren’t careful enough to hide it well.
Are you saying there's a way to upvote yourself multiple times from your own account? Because Reddit doesn't allow that at all.
Not as far as I know, no. Just multiple accounts, same as most websites.
Then how does Lemmyvotes show self upvoting? The accounts that upvote could be followers.
You’d have to follow up with each individual account. If you’re asking for something non-heuristic, that’s a conversation for the devs
Then I'm really confused by your first reply:
" Lemvotes.org. No hiding it here. "
Bots seem to be just as hidden on Lemmy as reddit.
There are possibly AIs automating the callouts in comments too since they grow statistically more probable.
The idea of chatbots calling out chatbots just makes me want to burn everything down.
