minus-squareSalamander@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down1·8 months agoThere is one account that has a single comment from 5 months ago that is downvoting most posts and comments. That one is very suspicious Other than that… No other accounts are as obvious. A few do have some reoccurrences but most of those votes do seem organic on first inspection.
