I banned someone from a community I made for breaking a rule and being excessively rude, then they DM’d me and after a report their account got banned and I think that they might’ve made an alternative account and have been downvoting/disliking all of my posts. What can I do to stop/fix this, is there a way for me to see activity on my community as a moderator? Sorry if this doesn’t fit here, I don’t really know where else to ask this question. It’s a small community so any post I make will get buried when the moment I make the post it gets downvoted.
I haven’t ruled out that this could just be coincidence but if I can do something about it I’d rather know.
Edit: Maybe a feature request to consider in the future is allowing the user to see activity on their posts, that way if they do notice a trend they can deal with it personally (ie block the user responsible). It’s a feature available on other social platforms and seeing as Lemmy logs that stuff anyways. I dunno it just seems like a nice to have. Food for thought I guess.
I just scrolled through 4 days of your posts, and none of them are downvoted.
Maybe the vote system is messed up again.
🤔 That’s strange, what are you using to view the instance? On desktop at least when viewing the activity breakdown 95% of my posts from the past 2 days have 1 dislike. But maybe you’re right.
I’m on Kbin, using desktop/browser. And I did see that there was 1 downvote I missed here, https://kbin.social/m/videogamebutts@lemmy.world/t/261506/In-Game-Street-Fighter-VI-Lily/votes/down
We can see downvotes on kbin, not sure lemmy is the same.
Only from kbin, or possibly even just kbin.social (or whatever one’s local instance is). If you look closely, you’ll notice that every downvote you can see on kbin is from a kbin user, which is because kbin doesn’t federate downvotes from Lemmy.
If you lookat OP’s Lemmy profile, you can see a moderate amount of consistent downvoting: https://lemmy.world/u/Call_Me_Maple?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts
That explains why the up/down vote feels broken.
I’m looking at Kbin and at least recent downvotes haven’t seem to have registered there yet. Even ones from the past day.
Yeah, we can see the same here and I’m seeing multiple posts that contain that one downvote. Kinda strange that it seems to be showing us different numbers. But I dunno, it’s not too big a deal really.
The rep points are messed up on both platforms.
I guess when they decide an account has X number of downvotes that they restrict our access, we can worry about it. But right now, up/down has no real meaning.
Even on reddit I remember people getting mass downvotes and nothing ever happened to those accounts.
Take every down vote as a way to remind yourself that “someone is thinking about me”. :)
My little stalker, how quaint. Anyways, thanks for letting me know. :)
