Buggy looking behaviour observed, when I view a post on another instance or make a post on another instance then go back to viewing it, in front of my eyes, I can see massive disparities in the amount of upvotes and downvotes. Talking a post showing 600 upvotes then a few seconds later, 5 upvotes, then 40 etc
Yeah this happened on some reddit clients as well it’s very interesting
Wanted to point that out, was the usual experience for me on Reddit.
On Reddit it was deliberate. That way bot users had a more difficult time to tell if their vote got counted (as they try to circumvent bot blocking and do vote brigading).
Here on Lemmy it’s probably just a bug due to high server load.
