Dude, we are both internet weirdos. You make multiple accounts and upvote your own comments (looks like it could be in the range of hundreds of times that you did that). That’s a kind of internet weirdness that would never occur to me to do. It’s extremely weird. On the other hand, I dig through the database sometimes if it seems something is sketchy, looking for people who are faking votes to manipulate public opinion on Lemmy. We’re both weird. Own it.
You’re attributing votes from close personal friends that I convinced to move to the fediverse with me as “vote manipulation”. That’s actually sad, dude.
Is it because you can’t imagine having a group of friends? or what? I’d be happy to be your friend if you stopped being so weird!
It is possible, I guess, that you told two close personal friends that you had made a comment on infosec.pub and then within two minutes they had both jumped on and upvoted your comment for you. And, also, one of those users who did that has multiple accounts under their same username on many instances and likes to upvote their own content as a regular feature of their participation.
Personally, I’m more inclined to believe that it’s all alts of you and you just like upvoting your own stuff. For one reason, all these close personal friend users all seem to display a lot of the same features of feeling super-passionate about it being important to talk down Bernie Sanders and how he’s a fake leftist and your superior credentials mean that you don’t support him and no one else on the left should either.
You know, a perfectly sensible political viewpoint, that a lot of close personal friends have.
