I'd die laughing if someone was able to do this on Lemmy and buy something like 3k votes, an unseen number. Or better yet, 30k votes. You'd be on All and see that and know something was up.
Thank goodness we're too small and unimportant for them to interrupt my Linux and Startrek memes with that nonsense.
Unfortunately, this has happened and is likely still happening on lemmy (mostly for comments and not posts). see here.
Heard about that. It's not though to push some weird conservative view to top of all but I imagine it's a setup for is Lemmy ever becomes profitable.
