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.
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.
Ouch that would’ve hurt.
I got banned from the Linux.community without explanation where they deleted all my posts and when I asked politely what happened I received no response…
The worst part was that I was on friendly terms with the admin before this happened.
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
Sorry, I didn't mean it in a way to picture you in a bad way, just wanted to point out that votes can have consequences
Is something wrong with my internet connection or something wrong with the threadiverse?! Why can't I find the title of this post?? Why??!
it looks blank to me
I can't even select it. It is so weird...
inspecting the webpage, I see the title is made up of four zero-width spaces (\u200b is the unicode).
Here's what it looks like in the web tools:

Here they are in a code block:
I’m experiencing this too.
I couldn't think of a title, so I put several invisible unicode characters as the title instead.
Interesting technique
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.
I saw that thread from earlier. Recursive chewed you up good.
This is why we shouldn't have downvotes IMO.
Edit: oh no...
