OP tryna karma farm by boosting the fuck out of their posts when they're new posts (from any account), so that they make it near the top of the hot section and then they downvote the top few posts so that theirs gets pushed even further, seen them doing it a bunch of times. What a loser lmao.

"Karma farming" isn't even possible on Lemmy. There's literally no total of up- and downvotes displayed anywhere. And having a meme artificially pushed to the top without reason seems to be nonsensical to me.

Someone coming from reddit that doesn't understand how lemmy works? Will it be a self correcting problem once they realize there's absolutely nothing to be gained by shilling posts? Will be interesting to see how this plays out. On a related note, does anyone know if you block a user are their votes still included in the totals you see for posts and comments?
