    Nah, Eureka is legit. He just doesn’t think news should be in Australia. And that’s perfectly fine. There may come a time where we are getting enough content that we’ll want to introduce that as a rule.

        I just checked and I only downvoted two three of those posts.

        My reason would have been some combination of a) I thought the posts didn’t belong in the comm, b) I thought the news source was low quality, or c) for reasons covered in previous threads regarding “Objectification of our community":

        I had noticed and was surprised by the significant downvotes on some of the posts mentioned in the OP. I figured either people were sick of it like I was, or the accounts were just under attack by accounts that serve the same function for the other side(s).

      Like I said, they popped up in the same vote manipulation against select users as those other accounts did. Make of it what you will.

        I often downvote Hotznplozn’s posts because those posts are exclusively warmongering propaganda. That is literally the only posts they make here, so I’m usually downvoting those whenever they appear here. Other users have reported them, and their previous aliases, in the Overseas News comm so I’m not alone in thinking this.

        edit: looks like an admin has assumed I’m involved and banned me from a few .world comms, along with some other users, so I might contest some of them once I have spare time

          I’ve avoided mentioning them by name in my comments in this thread and elsewhere, but I agree on this.

            Haven’t been dedicated to downvoting it all the time, but the one track posting behaviour is uncomfortable to see. Its such an unapologetic agenda. I suppose there could be something to respect in it as a user’s goal, i don’t know.
