Vote manipulation bots using sh.itjust.works?

Hi just a heads up. Check out this post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/37758799

It got so many upvotes in a such a short time I checked out its activity from an mbin instance. And most of these upvotes are coming from sh.itjust.works accounts which were all created 2 months ago, most on 2/16, and have never posted/commented. There was a similar post in the lemmy.world/c/world community linking to the same website and having a similarly high number of upvotes within minutes, but that post seems to be gone now.

Stockholm rejects ‘bizarre’ US letter urging city to scrap diversity initiatives
  • “If you do not agree to sign this document, we would appreciate it if you could provide detailed reasons, which we will forward to our legal teams.”

    The equivalent of not letting you unsubscribe from a spammy mailing list unless you provide a reason.

    Soviet-era probe to re-enter atmosphere this week
  • It's a Venera probe! The probe missions of the Soviet space program were remarkable. What a technological feat to get these machines all the way to Venus (of all places) and send data and pictures back, in the 1970s!

  • Mattel CEO says toy manufacturing won't come to America, but price hikes will
  • Americans mostly don't even want to do the manual labor jobs which have always been available in the US, like residential construction or picking crops. And the oligarchs want to both reduce immigration and re-industrialize? It's going to be comically unpopular.

  • How much do you donate to open source projects per month? How much time do you spend using their software? How does that compare to proprietary software / games?
  • ~$10/mo currently but since I recently switched to Linux, and it's working very well for me, I feel like upping it a little.

    I've long considered donating to Mozilla since Firefox is by far my most used open source software. But they don't seem to lack money. So, huh.

  • Skype was shut down for good today
  • I never really used Skype as a VOIP platform, but it was a great tool for many years for calling international phone numbers affordably. I'm sure it helped many people saving a lot of money calling their friends and relatives. For that I remember it somewhat fondly.

  • Lemmy needs more donations
  • And it was easy to say from the beginning that supporting Putin, an authoritarian old school imperialist land-grabbing mass-murdering and human-rights violating dictator was morally repulsive. Yet here we are.

  • Lemmy needs more donations
  • The genocide of Gazan civilians is indeed horrible, just like the genocide of Ukrainian civilians. Both make me feel sick. However, only one of these observations is allowed to be uttered on tankie instances. And no, I don't see the same amount of an intense echo chamber across the entire .world instance.

    Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad?

    I saw a few videos shared on PeerTube recently, and created an account on an instance. However, unlike Mastodon and Lemmy I'm struggling to discover channels to subscribe to. When I use the search functions on my instance, most results are either interesting channels which haven't been updated in years, or random foreign language TV shows and episodes.

    Just for example, if I'm trying to find videos on "Gaming" on one of the largest instances, the most recent video is over 1 year ago: https://tilvids.com/search?categoryOneOf=7

    Is discoverability on PeerTube bad, or are there barely any active channels?

    Edit: BTW one very active creator on PeerTube is https://tilvids.com/c/thelinuxexperiment_channel/videos and his videos are excellent. But can there really only be a handful of active creators to follow on the whole platform?
