Earlier today I made a comment that someone must have found controversial, because I noticed that all of my posts and most of my comments made in the last month have received about a dozen downvotes each, all happening today. Has anyone experienced anything similar and is there anything that can be done to combat that sort of thing from happening? I think that reddit used to only shadow downvote when voting from a user’s profile. I’m assuming Lemmy isn’t that advanced yet.
Yeah, I’m suspicious that something loosely similar, though perhaps on a smaller/more fragmented scale might be occurring here. I’ve noticed some comments and posts that have identical upvotes and downvotes, which is… suspicious, to say the least.
I’m definitely enjoying lemmy more than reddit, but there are definitely some bot and vote manipulation issues that will have to be addressed sometime soon.
