    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 fed a couple of your comments into lemvotes and found out who it was pretty easily. I imagine this is a bannable offense somewhere?

        Looks like a normal short term lemmy fight, someone didn't like what they said in a thread and opened their history and downvoted everything on the first screen. Going back 3 days and the downvotes stop.

        • https://lemvotes.org/user/falsewhite@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 downvotes in 2 minutes all against shalafi 6:41-6:42
        • https://lemvotes.org/user/falsewhite@programming.dev 79 downvotes in 2 minutes all against shalafi 6:38-6:40
        • https://lemvotes.org/user/falsewhite@lemmy.world 87 downvotes in 3 minutes all against shalafi 6:25-6:27, and 6:44-6:45

        lemmy.world appears to be their main account, this seems to be the post that triggered them do do their downvoting spree: https://lemmy.world/post/41260627

        Looks like the sock puppet master was angry for about 20 minutes, and got tired of manually downvoting. Still pretty terrible vote manipulation making lemmy a hostile place.

              It's 2 years old, as opposed to the sock puppet ones which are 4 months old. It's voting the same way as the other 3 also. I guess it doesn't really matter which is the main, just thought I'd add it regardless since it wasn't mentioned.

                I've looked at the voting patterns and I can't establish the link you mentioned, the falsewhite accounts are obviously alts/sockpuppets of each other, that is all I can say

                43 downvotes across 2 minutes but at a 4 hours earlier then the other downvoting falsewhite accounts.
