For awhile it was single downvotes, but it seems that moved up to 2-3 on each comment. Even the most benign stuff gets hit, the pattern is clear.

Can I find this person and block them from seeing my posts? Never really delved into how lemmy works.

Probably doesn’t matter much because after awhile the forget and leave me alone for a bit.

    I had a Reddit account get to the special place for people who got over 100,000 upvotes. The sub was full of assholes.

    Also I’m an asshole so you’re theory checks out.

      I remembered being randomly gilded and you got to go into that special subreddit for gilded users. Same deal.

        Yeah I never had to pay for Reddit because I got gold for my comments.

        Which were normally something sarcastic.

        It’s kinda like the algorithm for social media. What gets engagement? Bad shit.

        So if you get a group together who is good at that… you’re kinda surrounded by broken people lol
