    That’s based on the assumption that’s your only account, though. Not that I’m calling you a shill, just pointing out the obvious flaw in your logic. Any actual shill would have sockpuppets to spread out their comments and hide their history.

      … Check my instance… Would be weird for me to shill for someone on my own instance that I’m an admin for, no? Wouldn’t I not shill for something directly on my admin profile? Also I think there’s one other mildly active user on my instance… Nobody else here to shill with.

      I suppose I could make accounts on other instances… Nothing I could do to prove that isn’t the case… Just like I could say the same that all of lemmy is tankie bots.

        What the other guy said. I repeat, I’m not actually calling you a shill. I even agree with your point about JF, I’m just pointing out your logic is faulty.

        You’re just ignoring the point - we wouldn’t know that without doing some work, and it still doesn’t mean it isn’t being done.

        I believe you when you say you aren’t doing it, but just like the issues with this reviewer, we just don’t know the extent.

          Well then the obvious answer would be that if I had all these sock puppets… wouldn’t I just also upvote myself? Wouldn’t that make a malicious intent much more effective?
