    Lemmy clients with multi-account support should allow you to lock your self to one vote for your group of alts.

    that seems like a really good idea. I've had a discussion with someone we temporarily banned for upvoting their own content where they likely resorted to blocking their alt other account to prevent themselves from doing this. depending on the implementation, it could even be something like auto-detecting all the accounts you use and just warning you when voting to confirm you want to upvote content by another of your accounts, with a setting to disable these prompts or exclude certain accounts from it.

    So instead of bots it's just a few of us with multiple accounts?

    (Not that I do that. I'm old school. That shiz used to get you banned)

    I don't think there's anything wrong about occasionally accidentally upvoting a post twice using an alt.

    Making a habit out of it could be a problem, but as long as its a genuine mistake backed up by the accounts voting logs I don't see a problem with it

    Irelephant was caught voting 4 times on the same content.

    That's not what I'm talking about in this though.
    I did do it once intentionally on a post, but that was a mistake (mistake as in I shouldn't have done it), and I removed the votes.

    This is more about juggling alts in general.

    Vote multiple times. It doesn't matter. Ever since I've joined Lemmy, I've been throwing out up votes like candy because they're free, and they make people feel nice.

    I don't tend to use any other accounts, but when I do, I just mass up vote shit without a second thought.

    That’s a good way to get banned from instances.

    I don't know what's the worse, the lack of title or the fact you used 4 zero width spaces when you only needed 3.

    This just reminded me to not take upvotes or downvotes seriously, thank you.

    does vote determine the position / exposure of the post , if no then why sweat

    It does, especially on small communities

    Edit: OP also got banned from an instance for vote manipulation: https://lemmy.ca/post/50545875

    Is something wrong with my internet connection or something wrong with the threadiverse?! Why can't I find the title of this post?? Why??!

    I couldn't think of a title, so I put several invisible unicode characters as the title instead.

    I feel better to hear that. I felt that my understanding of the threadiverse was breaking away. Very nice effect. Very freaky but also very nice.

    This is why we shouldn't have downvotes IMO.

    Edit: oh no...
