Ok posters, are you ready to get out and vote?? Do you want to :vote: with power and efficiency?! Well, I thought about this comment I made earlier, and decided to weaponize AI for the good of posting. Now, you no longer need to think about upvoting stories from other communities, if you're already upvoting that story right now.

With this userscript that I had Deepseek cook up, you can have your upvote automatically distributed to all cross-posted versions of that story without you having to lift a finger! It's mobile friendly, and can be moved and shrunk to keep it out of your way.

It uses the authentication cookie you've already got in your browser, and thus doesn't require you to enter any information into the software for it to work.

You can find it here: https://codeberg.org/Abolish-Capital/Automatic-Crosspost-Upvote

If you want to install it in your favorite userscript extension right now, you can follow the link in the README above, or go directly to the source here: https://codeberg.org/Abolish-Capital/Automatic-Crosspost-Upvote/raw/branch/main/automatic-crosspost-upvote.user.js

So far, I'm the only one who's tested this and even though I did have a slop-machine generate this thing, I do understand how it works, so if you encounter any issues I'll be curious to know about them. I've only tested it in Fire Fox, and I've tested it on Hexbear and Lemmy.ml thus far.

Anyway, Bear-Army-Nation, enjoy this little doodad and remember...

Now you're posting with POWER!

I'm upvoting everything on hexbear and lemmygrad so hard now. My power level is incredible now!

Pseudonymous social media platforms are doomed to botification, even non-corporate ones, if they’re popular enough[1][2][3][4].

Does this filter out CIA bot/shill reposts?

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It upvotes everything the api returns as a cross post for the post you upvoted. It wouldn't know who is a "shill" or "CIA" vs whose not. In not really sure what kind of content you are worried about this up voting for you.
