Accounts are being created on lemmy.world, downvoting en mass, and then deleting themselves. (See this example, https://lemvotes.org/user/iuyfihefoqerhif@lemmy.world - 99 downvotes in 7 minutes.)
Accounts are also being created, then flooding communities with posts, then also deleting themselves. A few examples below:

Are the admins aware of this behavior? If so, is anything being done to remediate this issue?


Do votes matter?
Yes, they can in certain contexts. Bulk downvoting on posts can degrade their visibility.
