There's some very interesting voting ~~manipulation~~ patterns going on in here. Some very quick upvotes on your nonsense and the same downvoting mine. I'm sure it's all legit though as you spread your agenda throughout Lemmy.
lemmygrad users: use a standard lemmy features that literally every user has access to
deranged lib user: "this is clearly a conspiracy to take over the ~~world~~ site"
These votes are organic. You’re just used to the voting patterns of imperial core social media platforms. Once you step outside that bubble, you may find that opinions differ.

Don't mind me just up voting them and down voting you too. By the way, care to explain why you think it would be definitely worse?

Impossible that you just have a terribly shitty take and everyone knows it.
@OutlierBlue pro tip: voting in the fediverse isn't secret like it is on reddit.
If you suspect vote manipulation just get yourself a kbin account, we click and can see lists of exactly who upvoted each comment and when. (We can do this for downvotes too but we don't federate those).
It's a good way to spot people upvoting themselves, and to free yourself from paranoia.
