Why people downvote you for a headline right off the article, I have no clue.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Because it’s Universal Monk using a ban evading alt.

Thanks! Turns out there may have been a bit more to it than that. I made someone mad so they started a bot army to downvote all my posts. lol

Another poster discovered it when they looked into why I was getting downvotes regardless of what/where I was posting. They wrote about their discovery of the bot army here: https://hackertalks.com/post/8713785

Monk, you are ban evading. .world banned you, and you got caught by the /Politics mods. Quit pretending there’s a “bot army” downvoting you and accept that everyone o owes what you’re doing and no one wants you here.

Just go away.

(Mods, reach out to the mods at /Politics and they will verify that this is Universal Monk using an alt account).

@jet@hackertalks.com is the one who started the investigation of the downvoting bots, and listed the details at https://hackertalks.com/post/8713785
