Mass Organized Downvoting
Mass Organized Downvoting
Hello, not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is anyone else being massively downvoted on every comment? I noticed this started happening after the DDOS attacks on lemmy.world. If you check my profile, you'll see what I'm talking about. Almost as soon as I post a comment it's at -10, etc.
Have I pissed off someone, or is it a possible bot attack? I try to keep most of my comments cordial, which is why this is confusing me. Thanks.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm having a similar problem, where someone mass downvoted all my comments and posts going back a month. It doesn't seem to be ongoing though, but a one time event.
My post here: https://sh.itjust.works/post/1984538
Yeah, I've been in contact with a couple others stating the exact same thing. This is very interesting, I hope the admins will get back to me soon.
I have a similar problem, idiots who have a political disagreement with me have downvoted my posts, by 4 points on a few comments and up to 40 on a post - which is bad since that potentially degrades an entire community's experience.
Who should I contact for help/info btw?
I'm not sure anyone can help you there honestly. If you're being downvoted do to a disagreement, then that's what the voting system is for. What's happening to me and others is mass, targeted, downvoting. Either using a script/bots, or multiple sock puppet accounts.
Well, they downvoted unrelated comments and posts on my account. Which is an undesirable situation.
You're probably right that it can't be helped though.
Sorry! As I'm sure you're well aware, some people can be very immature online, under the veil of anonymity.
I'll be using an alt for purely political comments.
