I wasn't referring to people disagreeing with me. I upvoted users I disagreed with in this post's comments to promote discussion (such as upvoting your downvoted comment here).

I was referring to people that engage in disingenuous argumentative tactics clearly pushing an agenda, whose presence is also accompanied by what seems like blatant vote manipulation/brigading. This was present when Threads federation was originally a being discussed a little while back. That's what I was referring to.

I don't think I'm going to go out of my way to track down examples, but you may be able to find some from the link to where my comment is originally from.

You can also assume I'm wrong, and that's okay by me. But astroturfing is absolutely a tactic Meta employs. Source

Yes you are; you've been a lame-ass anti-disestablisment shill the entire time you've been here. Shut the hell up.
