What's going on? Why does this offtopic comment have 14 upvotes and no upvotes?

EDIT: Dead internet theory here in full force. This post is about Lemmy. The only thing that has to do with Substack is the example post that OP highlighted to demonstrate issues with Lemmy federation. And yet the top comment (and replies to my comment) is going on as if this post is about Substack, almost as if it was written by a technology that cannot understand context.

IDK, missing (or deliberately ignoring) context is also a deeply human issue. Don't act like you captcha-pressers are any better than us in that matter.

There's a good bit of fake voting on Lemmy, but after a quick glance at the votes I don't think this is that, I think it's just people legitimately believing the narrative that "Substack = Nazis" and upvoting it because they believe in it.
