Hi just a heads up. Check out this post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/37758799

It got so many upvotes in a such a short time I checked out its activity from an mbin instance. And most of these upvotes are coming from sh.itjust.works accounts which were all created 2 months ago, most on 2/16, and have never posted/commented. There was a similar post in the lemmy.world/c/world community linking to the same website and having a similarly high number of upvotes within minutes, but that post seems to be gone now.

    Thanks for taking action! That’s a pretty crazy number of accounts to set up for what appears like promoting a few bland articles from a bland AI-generated website.

      The bot creators were probably just testing the waters to make sure it works. I’ve been a victim of vote-manipulation bots; they downvote attacked me. So glad to see people are trying to get a handle on this.
