    Okay I just realized what instance I’m on. Time to unsubscribe.

      People are mean to me that I’m advocating for a senseless war with a nuclear element. Since obviously I can’t be wrong I’m taking my ball and hiding in my echo chamber

        “I’m happy that Russia invaded Ukraine and I want nothing to do with it, I’m sure they’ll be fine”.

          Not happy about Russia invading Ukraine but also not happy about the US potentially escalating to WW3. Ukraine is not worth a nuclear Holocaust

      LMFAO Like this is a valid excuse. Only 2 people in this comments section is from Lemmy.ml. Everyone else is commenting here from different servers.

      What a truly stupid take.

        For real, I had to do a double take when I read that. Buddy probably thinks this is lemmygrad

        lemmy.ml is federated with lemmygrad.ml, and both are old instances (also run by the same people but that’s less relevant here). Point being is that all the people on tankie central are subscribed to [email protected] for their worldnews community and thus you get a certain voting pattern you don’t see in other worldnews communities even if you don’t see any lemmygrad.ml users commenting.

          Maybe take some time to inspect the votes? They’re not coming from lemmygrad. It’s all public info

            For values of “public info” that involve running an instance and inspecting the database. Also lemmy.ml itself has quite a high proportion of tankies as it’s the instance that tankies tend to use to interact with instances defederating lemmygrad.ml.

              You know that the lemmygrad users could make an account on another instance like yours to interact with the wider fediverse

                This only further proves the point that up/down votes are useless here. I can have an account on each federated instance (just one, so not to possibly run afoul any local server rules) and have a script to just run through all of them to downvote something. Could easily be a hundred votes at my singular whim.

                If the names of the accounts are not particularly linked… you wouldn’t really be able to tell that there was much vote manipulation either.

          Votes/karma mean absolutely nothing.

              So what value does the up/downvote on this platform have? Enlighten the rest of us.

                Their value lies in their meaning which is telling everyone how much something got upvoted or downvoted.

                Really, it’s a simple concept.

                    In the same sense that a smile and a frown have no value, possibly. But that’s rather nihilist.
