Earlier today I made a comment that someone must have found controversial, because I noticed that all of my posts and most of my comments made in the last month have received about a dozen downvotes each, all happening today. Has anyone experienced anything similar and is there anything that can be done to combat that sort of thing from happening? I think that reddit used to only shadow downvote when voting from a user’s profile. I’m assuming Lemmy isn’t that advanced yet.
I mentioned in a comment below that I’m trying to get the [email protected] community going and am by far the top contributor over there. So by making half the posts on the sub into negative score, it’s kind of shitty. Basically has the ability to kill a community. Was hoping someone could do something about it, but sounds like that’s a downside of the fediverse. Could see this being abused in the upcoming election cycle.
