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.

Wait, I want to read the propaganda!

I kind of do too… anyone have a link to what it was before it was deleted? I am curious.

@admins thank you for squashing this ❤️

It was just a random site with some news articles. Nothing objectionable content-wise really. Only the remarkable number of upvotes in a very short time for two posts going to the same random site stood out to me.

Got it. So just trying to spam in favor of their pet project. Ty
