Mass Organized Downvoting (lemmy.world)

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.

Haha, definitely haven't harassed anyone. Didn't even know the animated icon worked tbh, am on mobile, it's just a static picture for me. Thanks for the tips! I'll contact the admins/mods, maybe I can be their test dummy.

Probably because of your profile banner as it could kill/harm people with epilepsy. And for that i downvote someone tbh. As a "warning" for those in need.

I believe @rooki has a solid point. Your banner, and icon to a lesser extent, really hurt the eyes and if someone was epileptic it could be an issue. Not to say they aren't neat but I could see someone getting up in arms over it.
