I almost instinctively upvoted this on my other account, before realising I made the post.

Lemmy clients with multi-account support should allow you to lock your self to one vote for your group of alts.
- that seems like a really good idea. I've had a discussion with someone we temporarily banned for upvoting their own content where they likely resorted to blocking their alt other account to prevent themselves from doing this. depending on the implementation, it could even be something like auto-detecting all the accounts you use and just warning you when voting to confirm you want to upvote content by another of your accounts, with a setting to disable these prompts or exclude certain accounts from it.

Vote multiple times. It doesn't matter. Ever since I've joined Lemmy, I've been throwing out up votes like candy because they're free, and they make people feel nice.

I don't tend to use any other accounts, but when I do, I just mass up vote shit without a second thought.

I mean, I voted on something multiple times on purpose once, and that got me instance banned from lemmy.ca.
- Well, that's a bummer.
That’s a good way to get banned from instances.
- Would you believe, it got me banned from Lemmy.ca.

So instead of bots it's just a few of us with multiple accounts?

(Not that I do that. I'm old school. That shiz used to get you banned)

Still does.

I don't know what's the worse, the lack of title or the fact you used 4 zero width spaces when you only needed 3.

I am an incredibly uncreative person.

This just reminded me to not take upvotes or downvotes seriously, thank you.

I don't think there's anything wrong about occasionally accidentally upvoting a post twice using an alt.

Making a habit out of it could be a problem, but as long as its a genuine mistake backed up by the accounts voting logs I don't see a problem with it

Irelephant was caught voting 4 times on the same content.
- That's not what I'm talking about in this though.
  I did do it once intentionally on a post, but that was a mistake (mistake as in I shouldn't have done it), and I removed the votes.
  This is more about juggling alts in general.
