For awhile it was single downvotes, but it seems that moved up to 2-3 on each comment. Even the most benign stuff gets hit, the pattern is clear.
Can I find this person and block them from seeing my posts? Never really delved into how lemmy works.
Probably doesn’t matter much because after awhile the forget and leave me alone for a bit.
I’m going to say - get over it.
This is not Reddit, where downvoting would actually prevent you from posting.
This is the Fediverse, where, you can keep going. Who gives a fuck?
The whinier you are about being downvoted, the more I think you deserve it. Just like anyone who I’ve come across who has amassed a lot of upvotes, turned out to be the biggest assholes I’ve come across.
I had a Reddit account get to the special place for people who got over 100,000 upvotes. The sub was full of assholes.
Also I’m an asshole so you’re theory checks out.
I remembered being randomly gilded and you got to go into that special subreddit for gilded users. Same deal.
Yeah I never had to pay for Reddit because I got gold for my comments.
Which were normally something sarcastic.
It’s kinda like the algorithm for social media. What gets engagement? Bad shit.
So if you get a group together who is good at that… you’re kinda surrounded by broken people lol
I would argue that his massive history and modlogs of him being a shitty person with inflammatory comments and toxic takes are why he deserves it. It should be obvious that after two years of mod corrective actions for egregious behavior he’s not going to change.
Him doing the “oh, woe is me” act here feels pretty hollow.
How could OP not have seen this coming?
Most of these look more like mods power tripping because he said something they didn’t like than anything.
Yes clearly these downvotes are his personal bot brigade and not people just reacting to him being a dick
