This is covered in the FAQ:
If a story has not had significant attention in the last year or so, a small number of reposts is ok.
Three counts as "a small number of reposts", particularly when it's from different users, and the fact that it eventually attracted upvotes and a good discussion indicates the reposts were warranted, as randomness plays a big role in whether or not a submission gets traction.
Also, we don't like to see public "callouts" like this, and the guidelines ask us to avoid accusations of astroturfing, shilling, etc, because a false public accusation is more harmful than a valid one is beneficial. Please contact us at [email protected] if you see anything suspicious.
