I complained about this downvoting behavior in the past (on a different account), pointing out specific accounts, and the admins and mods don’t care. They told me not to complain, instead.
I wouldn’t put it past some instance admins to be the ones engaging in the vote manipulation themselves. There’s plenty of dickhead admins that spun up their own instances because their views aren’t welcome elsewhere and they can more easily control an echo chamber.

If it was on .world no, they don’t care.
The mods were on .world. The accounts were from several different instances.
I figured. They’d rather not rock the boat than do what’s right.
