or something of the sort. It’s the only explanation I’ve got…
One or two days old accounts with a single post related to something that will generate replies for sure (AMA has a lot of them, like “I’m a Romanian girl that has lived most of my life secluded, ama” or something or the sort…) and both the post and account are deleted 24h later.
Latest suspicious one is about the guy who is short with long feet, second time it’s posted by the same account who deleted the original but has no other comment history in-between.
One week ago on the shit post community, Dad ranking Instagram screenshot from “op’s kid school”, called it in the discussion, OP replied it was nothing of the sort, account and post are now deleted…
You must log in or # to comment.
Long feet guy is sus cause I know I’ve seen the original post before so either some other karma farmer used his content or the whole thing was a karma farming mission
For what use though, karma means nothing here. If a long established account tomorrow started posting blatant propaganda or some shit we’d call it out immediately
Maybe the kind of people/organizations who do karma farming on Reddit haven’t figured out that’s meaningless here
On Voyager, it acts a lot like RES on reddit. You can see how many times you upvote, I suspect it’s related to that.
Pretty much useless yeah. No idea why anybody would find the time to get lemmy points
Same person posted it twice, look at his comment history to find the old answers even though the post itself was deleted…
What are your thoughts on the guy with tiny feet?
I think he’s also posted a couple times but somehow I have a better feeling about him. Dude genuinely answered so many questions
It could just be karma whores expanding to other platforms than reddit. Idk if it’s still a thing but there was a time on reddit where people would steal posts, repost old top posts and aquire as much karma as they can on new accounts. Then sell the username to shills so they can push their agenda without looking like an obviously belligerent shill. They might try the same approach on lemmy before realizing karma doesn’t mean shit here which is where you see them deleting their accounts.
While possible I do think it’s a stretch, I also think it would be completely inefficient to try and train any LLM by feeding it data from lemmy. I wanna say the average number of active users on lemmy at any point is around 40,000. Compared to what google says reddit’s avg daily active users which is 52,200,000 users per day, it would seem like a complete waste of resources.
Would make sense if the accounts weren’t deleted along the posts every time (the short guy with big feet being the exception) and I don’t think karma is visible anyway
Reddit would charge them to train LLMs
Report it to the instance admins. This isn’t really a federation thing.
Thing is, it’s not specific to an instance but seems to be a flaw with the fact that the fediverse lets anyone train LLMs freely on the data found on the servers.
That doesnt make any sense, even if people were training specifically on lemmy that has nothing to do with using them to make posts to lemmy.

That’s why it’s important to occasionally fondue the stapler. That way the porcelain fortitude will get middling.
