One of my many admirers just went through literally every single post or comment I’ve ever made to downvote. Is there a way to see who it is and save them from having to see my posts in the future?

Also, is that how blocking works? I know that I won’t see posts from someone I’ve blocked but does it also stop them from seeing/interacting with my content?

    You post a lot of controversial takes, I wouldn’t be surprised with the amount of downvotes. Also downvotes don’t matter.

        Uh, I recommend closing your internet connected devices for a week or 2. That sounds very unhealthy lol

      Just for clarity, it’s not the number of downvotes. I don’t really care about that. However, I was looking through some of my old posts and I noticed that all of a sudden every single post had exactly one more down vote, which especially stands out on posts that literally nobody saw or voted on from months ago.

      It doesn’t take a detective to see that an individual went through and downvoted every single post regardless of the topic or community.

      I had hoped to see who the person was and just block them from seeing my content, but it looks like that is not how blocking works on Lemmy anyway. It seems more like muting somebody.

        If you’re going to keep saying spicy things, your secret admirer should be able to keep booing you.

        Trying to keep your public posts private is a fool’s errand.

        Could be someone running a server. Would be easy for them to wholesale script to go thru all your posts and down vote.
