Hi just a heads up. Check out this post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/37758799

It got so many upvotes in a such a short time I checked out its activity from an mbin instance. And most of these upvotes are coming from sh.itjust.works accounts which were all created 2 months ago, most on 2/16, and have never posted/commented. There was a similar post in the lemmy.world/c/world community linking to the same website and having a similarly high number of upvotes within minutes, but that post seems to be gone now.

Good catch. I linked this post in the comments of that other post you linked, and it looks like the moderators have since removed the post entirely.

There was another one linking out to that same site (maybe the other post you saw as well) which I recall had an extremely misleading clickbait-y headline. It also seems to have been removed, so at least mods are staying on top of it.

Does Lemmy have the ability to automatically block/remove posts leading to certain domains? Seems to be a common thread of these accounts trying to promote this one "news" site. Though I don't imagine this sort of thing will stop at one site.

Was that the one about Biden lying?
