The bots are trying real hard to bury this post. Guess I triggered the keyword. How does one look that log up? And does blocking a user really disable them from downvoting your post?
Upon further research, I’ve realized that the upvote/downvote logs are only available to instance admins. Also, other users have said blocking a user does not disable them from downvoting your posts, so my idea wouldn’t work anyway. Sorry :(
blocking someone does not actually block them, it only masks them, where you can’t see their posts or comment any longer, but they can continue to see and vote on yours
I think there’s a way to look up the logs of who downvoted and then you can just block them. It won’t block them for everyone else, though.
I don’t think regular users have access to that info on lemmy. (Maybe you’re thinking of a kbin feature?)
You’re right. Upon further investigation, I realize it’s only something that instance admins have access to.

Or maybe this isn’t the kind of content (even well tagged meta) that lots of readers want to see or think is good in general.
Of course, traditionally any whining about downvotes or other vote manipulation should be met with downvotes.
