Mass Organized Downvoting (lemmy.world)

40 comments fedilink hide all child comments

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.

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.
