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.

You can also hide vote scores in your settings, pry a good idea for most of us who are bothered by it.
