Tell HN: Up/downvotes of comments on HN are silently ignored when using Tor

3•fsflover•1h ago
I noticed that whenever I upvote or downvote a comment while connected through Tor, my vote is silently ignored. I still get the "unvote/undown" button, but the user karma in their profile remains unchanged. I can repeat the same while connected through the clearnet, and everything works as expected: The karma of the affected user changes accordingly. The upvotes for the stories work fine though.

Is this a new defense from bots? Why does it affect established user accounts like mine? Has anybody else also noticed this?

Maybe stale user profile pages are more likely to be served via Tor.
