Lemmy users probably. They’re allowed to interact with us, after all. Even if it means just downvoting and running off like kids ringing the doorbell and scooting off like they’re some master prankster…
tbf I regularly downvote people by accident. Then I’ll be browsing, see that I’ve downvoted someone and think, hang on, they’re right, what was I thinking? Then I realise and undo the mistake. It’s not me this time, though.
It’s by accident! I must press the down arrow while I’m scrolling or something. No idea. I’m not choosing to do it. 🙂
Either that or it’s my dog when I’m not looking. Maybe they dislike all the comments that don’t mention bones, walks, or scratches. I’ll keep an eye out.
Well we do have a few libs that float around but also some people take things very literally and don’t like “ban ALL of X” comments. For instance, banning ALL gambling isn’t necessary feasible or necessary. Are we proposing busting down your door for having a monthly poker night with your friends? Or fining two friends for making a bet on a sports game? This probably wasn’t what you meant, but as I said, some people take things very literally.
It’s possible he has an alt on another instance that we federate with, but I doubt he has the foresight to keep it hidden too long. Regardless upvotes and downvotes are not encrypted or anything (they can’t be due to federation), so we can actually see who downvotes if we need to.
Eh, probably best to not worry too much about the one rando downvote here and there, especially when it isn’t accompanied by a dissenting comment. This is ultimately a political place, people will disagree, but if they don’t give context then you can’t engage with it. There will also be the occasional fed or other adversarial plant doing stuff to cause some disturbance.
Thank you for your advice; but I wasn’t really “worrying too much”. I’ve just been flabbergasted at the random, doesn’t-make-sense downvotes I was receiving. Even on harmless, not-very-political comments like this, this and this one. Did I get some kind of stalker after me?
Ah yeah looks like possibly someone could be specifically targeting you. Well, there is a saying, something like: “If you haven’t made enemies, have you made a difference?” or something like that. Don’t remember the exact words, but the spirit is something like that.
Are you using jerboa by any chance? It shows me totally fake up/downvote counts sometimes, a comment i made literally ten seconds ago with 30 up votes… Yeah
Not that theese fake point matter tbh, we aren’t on reddit
Okay, I’m going to ask: Who the hell keeps downvoting my comments/posts randomly without any rhyme or reason? Come out and explain yourself, coward.
3 downvotes by now, i think we have some liberal consumerists here.

w-why would you downvote people regularly anyway 😶
If you regularily visit lemmy, there is much to downvote there, and the interface are identical…
b-but who in their right mind would visit a liberal zeitgeist like lemmy on a daily basis 😶
Me 😬
but why 😶
why make yourself suffer unnecessarily 😶

Can your dog also write comments and make posts? :o
If there are treats on offer, more than likely. 🐕
Three accounts about to win back their losses on their next roll.
“win”, hah! Now that’s a good joke!

I bet it’s somebody THERMONUCLEAR!
Heh. This gag will never get old.
My guess is wisconcom or a troll
I thought Wisconcom finally put an end to his revenge quest with Lemmygrad after the botched smear campaign in Leftypedia?
It could be a liberal troll though. Probably from Lemmy. They can interact with us, after all.
I think he has an alt somewhere on this site

Someone should try to “summon” him.
I heard if you say ‘annoying idiot’ 3 times in a row they will appear.
HAHAHAHA. Perfect description for him.

You can also hide vote scores in your settings, pry a good idea for most of us who are bothered by it.
I think its a personnel downvoter
That might be it, actually. I’ve been getting downvotes on harmless, non-political comments as well.
I don’t see you being downvoted.
10 up, 3 down
Weird, I see no upvotes except my own 1 up (at score 2) and the one I replied to is at 1 overall.

Yes I do. That must be it.
I use web version for PC.
