Botnets Auto-Downvoting on HN?
5 by stadia42 | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Here's a screenshot where someone made a (completely uncontroversial) comment, and within 1 minute was downvoted to "dead". Looking at their history, all of their comments since yesterday have been downvoted to dead, most (but not all) of them equally uncontroversial. https://ibb.co/sCHB7th https://ift.tt/3b4Rrji https://ift.tt/2PqgFAh I cannot find any other explanation besides a botnet that targets specific users for instant downvoting when they post a new comment. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I thought it would be good to bring this up to the attention of the community.
