I’m sorry to hear those posts weren’t as popular as many of us would liked.

Just to understand the situation better, how do you know the initial votes were negative? I know Lemmy isn’t private, but I wouldn’t know how to check votes and timestamps.

For what it’s worth, if bots are trying to suppress AI criticism, they’re doing an awful job with my feed. My experience with Lemmy is one where the costs and risks of AI are front and center in almost any conversation.

I wonder if my admins are being proactive against the bots. Or whether the bots are more active in some posts than other posts.
