The thing to do is stop giving a shit about downvotes. They will have zero impact your life unless you give them that power.

It's the exact same 3 users every time, so I believe your assesment is accurate.

I want you to know you had 2 downvotes and I downvoted you only to make the total 3.

welcome to lemmy.

nobody cares.

I say this as a victim of this as well.

I've thought about making an army of bots and going scorched earth on every single comment for everyone until the devs find a solution.

still might. 🤷 who knows.

Looks like there are now four of them. This is very upsetting as I've blocked them and don't want to have to make a new account. :( I've never been systemically harassed before online.

Time to create 4 accounts and a bot that upvotes all your own comments
