Vote manipulation bots using sh.itjust.works? (lemmy.world)

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.

Yes that does look like vote manipulation. Thank you for notifying us. Those accounts will be banned.

I’m glad that this is something that Lemmy admins appear to actually care about and have the capability to investigate.

Awesome!

Is this something that we could have a script for? I imagine this isn't the last time this will happen.
