Here is an example of the coordinated downvoting https://hackertalks.com/post/8692093

Of course its a controversial user who got someone angry enough to automated downvoting @DonaldJMusk@lemmy.today

But you can see every post they make gets 53ish downvotes from these two instances, plus some organic ones after a few hours.

A individual user airing their personal biases and manipulating lemmy isn't good for the community, regardless of how you feel about their target. This is a really bad thing (tm)

There's already a chat Matrix where admins coordinate

I saw in a comment you made, but one where discussions could be public would be nice.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Discussions are public, everyone can join that chat.

Edit: LW announcement: https://lemmy.world/post/5041072

Just DM'd you on Matrix, let's see how we can make this work

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

If you're talking about the defense room, it's invite only. I can invite @irelephant@lemm.ee if needed

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

Ah, makes sense, I didn't notice. There are a lot of people there, I assumed it was public
