The instances being used are

lemmy.doesnotexist.club
chinese.lol

Here is an example of the coordinated downvoting https://hackertalks.com/post/8692093

Of course its a controversial user who got someone angry enough to automated downvoting @DonaldJMusk@lemmy.today

But you can see every post they make gets 53ish downvotes from these two instances, plus some organic ones after a few hours.

A individual user airing their personal biases and manipulating lemmy isn't good for the community, regardless of how you feel about their target. This is a really bad thing (tm)

This highlights one of the things that I saw as a benefit when I started on kbin: being able to see who the downvote fairies were. I know the discussion has been done to death on the Lemmy side, but as a user I found it interesting to be able to see this kind of info. For example, instead of just block/reporting the spammer, I could block their sock puppets that upvoted as well. (And did kbin.social have a lot of that towards the end. Oof.)

Thanks for digging into this.

Lemmy currently allows mods to see downvotes, so they can fight brigading on top of admins

You mean admins, right? I cannot see downvotes on the community I mod.

Use https://tesseract.dubvee.org/

What it does look like (there were no downvotes here, but they would appear as well)

collapsed inline media

How do I use this for different instances? I'm thinking of starting an instance. Is tesseract good for any instance or just dubvee?
