Simple question, really. I’ve noticed a lot of posts being upvoted but seemingly getting no engagement. I’ve even watched the view count of things I’ve posted remain static despite the upvotes here.
So are bots being used to upvote posts to make them seem more popular?
Well it’s not like anyone has a say in it. All actions can be automated overall
There are bot labels for Lemmy accounts
That work on the honour system, so the bots can choose to not self-identify.
