Hello. I’ve found that rather suddenly, all of my comments within the past week have exactly 3 downvotes. These are even on totally unassuming comments, like a comment I posted saying that French is used in a lot of African countries.

I believe it might be possible that I am suddenly being harassed be a user with multiple accounts or something.

Looking for some guidance.

Thanks all.

      Thank you. I see them now. Do you know how I would go about reporting them and to who? Tbh I’m a bit confused on how this works with federated communities. It’s not as if we’re all on the same collective.

      Will blocking them help stop them from mass downvoting me or no? Will they still be able to see and downvote?

              Agreed - I guess I just interpreted it as having pissed off multiple people.

              But if all three votes come at the same time (or same IP assuming mods/mod log have that info) that would be a pretty big clue.

                It occurred to a huge number of comments suddenly at 3:05-3:30am-ish. And then another user today just now. This is what it looks like for all of the comments.

                  Yup, report to each instance and since you’re on .world, to the .world team as well. I’d recommend matrix or a ticket for .world.

                  That kind of behavior is pretty well frowned upon no matter which instance.

                  it would appear you’ve found your fan club.

                  now that you’ve identified your audience, it’s time to start crafting content for 'em.

                  this could be an entire new hobby

          Do you happen to know how I can send a message to someone on the fediverse without navigating to their profile? I’m a bit slow but I can’t seem to figure it out. When I go to the instance in question to figure out who the admin is, I can’t message them because I am not logged in on that instance. Because my account is on lemmy.world. I tried searching their name in the post/comment search feature, but they don’t seem to always pop up that way.

          There is a “messages” tab where I can view messages that I have sent and received, but I can’t figure out how to just send a new message to a user there without clicking on their profile first.

          Thanks for your help. I guess I wasn’t expecting that to be confusing unless I’m missing how to do it.
