My guess is probably what’s happening with these 4-account people is they have them all open at the same time in different browsers, and since they only use them to upvote one account’s post submissions they just have to follow that account.

I’ve noticed a few people doing it but they only seem to use like 4 accounts each. Usually people spamming/promoting a blog.

Sure. But votes aren’t private or anonymous. Anyone on Kbin can see a list of every account that upvoted something, so it’s easy to spot.

It’s only a matter of time before someone writes a third party client that allows Lemmy users to do this as well.

The JK Rowling “race change” comments were in my feed yesterday, as were you, and you pretty obviously saw them.

Look you’ve made at least three accounts to troll with. I don’t know if you’re bored or if you’re hurting, but here are some ideas (all free) for a better use of your time:

• Get a duolingo account and learn a new language

• Download Insight Timer and try guided meditation

• Sign up to EdX and enrol in a course

• Join Lichess and follow some of the tutorials

• Make an account at Neopets and play some casual games

I’m serious about this. Trolling can feel satisfying at first because you get attention but it’s empty attention, a bit like empty calories. To get the kind of attention that actually soothes your soul you will need to offer something of positive value to an online community instead.

Might be the same person. It’s an obvious troll account that was only created yesterday.

This is probably copying the latest JK Rowling trolling story which is about the same subject.

downvotes go everywhere

Unless you’re in kbin.social, which doesn’t federate downvotes.

That said it’s still handy for other kbin users and a good indication that it’s been reported already.

That’s transposing it how we sound to them, though!

If the above were pronounced in a baseline kiwi accent the U would just get deeper. The vowel shift goes the other way if I’m to recreate their pronunciation using my own accent:

Fehr ned ik (US)

Foe net eck (UK)

Ah that’s interesting, I didn’t know that.

Still, the IPA is really helpful when trying to discuss pronunciation with someone who has a very different accent to ourselves.

As a New Zealander I find some US phonetic spellings baffling.

I need you to write all my mnemonics.

This is why the IPA is useful.

@ernest actually fixed this at one point but it broke again with the big changes last month. I’m thinking he will fix it again sooner or later.

@shaked_coffee I made an account there and followed a bunch of people, but the federation aspect feels faux to me.

My profile there is basically just a redirect.

Extradite them.

Oh wait…

Definitely not. You need to watch more films.

True

Not even your brain, that has no feeling. It’s the surrounding tissue.

Two common causes of headache are dehydration and posture misalignment so sort those out first.

Layer ibuprofen and codeine after that.
