moner.ooo domain renewal is up! Consider helping to fund it - monero.town

So I was going through /all and this admin is snooping at vote counts for posts in his instance and then posting it publicly.

Just a reminder that these kind of petty people exist. Pick a trustworthy instance or better yet, host your own.

    So really, I just need to host my own instance to see votes. Nice.

      A table of downvotes

      What’s the worst that could happen?

          And this is why we have access to the votes, and why the protocol doesn’t obfuscate them.

          Admins can deploy scripts to detect those kinds of patterns and act on it.

        I hope the “published” column is the time at which that user downvoted you and not the time at which you posted the original content… there is less than 2s in between some.

          It was the time of each of the downvotes. I’m pretty sure the behavior was done by a bot, because there were way more downvotes across a bunch of unrelated posts.

          I have way more data than my own, and there’s a few users I’ve identified who appear to be botting other users aggressively. Not sure where to drop that data set, but it’ll be funny.
