So I've noticed that there's a little group of accounts all with the same name, presumably the same person with alts on several instances, and they all like to upvote their own stuff from their other accounts with the same name on other instances (and from other accounts which don't have the same name but seem likely to be the same person). Here's what it looks like. (I have redacted their actual username, since I'm not sure if that is acceptable to post in a bigger and not-drama-centered community.)

Each of these little groupings is multiple votes from accounts with the exact same name, all applied to the same comment within a few minutes of each other from (for example) the programming.dev and slrpnk.net accounts, a little while after the infosec.pub account posted it:

 undefined

    
SELECT p.actor_id, cl.score, cl.comment_id, cl.published FROM person p, comment_like cl WHERE p.name = 'redacted' AND cl.person_id = p.id ORDER BY published ASC;
              actor_id              | score | com
  

I just used "insomuch" in a comment elsewhere for some reason, paused, looked at the word, and had no idea what the fuck I just wrote.

Looked up the definition and I had used it correctly at least.

quoting from a blog I've found this week through a link on lemmy ☞

Jaws? Gone. Chewing deprecated.

Mouths? Gone. Nutrition is delivered via IV. All communication is text-based.

Heads? Permanently tilted forward in screen-prayer. Cervical spine fused into gamer hunch.

Eyes? Massive, glassy orbs. Double eyelids evolved into mucus membranes for seamless TikTok consumption.

Fingers are long now. Disturbingly long. Dry, twitchy, curved for optimal touchscreen input.

We don't walk. We scoot. Legs are shrunken. Ankles fused. Technically functional, spiritually broken. Like a 2016 version of PHP.

We're pale, not ethereal, just unwell.

Hairless. Slick. No need for insulation when you never leave the pod.

Swollen asses. Reinforced tailbones. Biological seat cushions for lifelong sitting.

A chance encounter/mini documentary about picking up a random hitchhiker, who turns out to be folk artist Micheal Hurley.
