      Hexbear stays winning with the removed downvote, which forces you to reply if you disagree with the content

      I just banned like 6 of them, dead or no-content accounts.

      Liberals using bot accounts to try to manipulate public opinion (as they do on reddit and the rest of the western internet), is gonna be one of the bigger problems in the fediverse for the foreseeable future, so we have to stay ahead of it.

      At this point they’re just targeting specific ppl like @[email protected], but they’ll eventually start doing it en masse.

        Figured that may have been the case, considering it was a reasonable comment getting heavily downvoted in a thread where other pro-PRC comments weren’t as inorganically downvoted.

      That’s pretty common, actually. People would rather silently downvote than try to actually engage with academic literature regarding the PRC’s democratic process.
