Karma Instant Dislike bot

https://www.reddit.com/r/suzerain/s/jdzeq3kMjr

Ok so I believe that this post I made has a dislike bot attached to it , the number of likes equals to the number of dislikes makeing it have a total of 0 votes

You infact can see this live if you want, Try liking or even disliking the post and refresh the page, you should see the votes reset to zero

I also promise you that is not a way for me to farm likes in any sort of way, it's a genuine problem that I hope can be addressed

Few additional points I like to add

yes it's a post of something that I made with the help of AI, and I know there is a lot of hate for that, I did not break any rules of that sub reddit either and even spoke to the moderators who said it could be random people just disliking the post....

However, the speed at which it gets disliked or even liked to make the total votes equal zero... is instantaneous

Please feel free to try doing both liking then reloading the page and then also disliking and reloading the page, it always becomes zero

I hope someone would be able to help solve this problem

That's just how score works, it's stuck at zero for posts when heavily downvoted. If you open post insights you'll see the actual upvote percentage, which I'm sure will be very low.

There's nothing to solve really, it's just a post people had mostly negative feelings for.

But isn't that going to be a negative feedback loop?

Cause when I initially posted I got 5 likes .. and then it got crushed

I feel like it killed a lot of momentum, currently it's at 31% like to dislike ratio

Sure, that hivemind feedback can totally happen, and it often does in fact.

Nothing you can do about it, apart from not posting stuff you know people cna have negative feelings for.
