I’m a little bit tired of getting abused every time I come here to report abuse.
What do you mean? Im not sure what the screenshot is meant to show?
All it shows is that the guy gets between 1 and 3 downvotes on the posts in the image.
There’s no other information presented there, certainly nothing that indicates any sort of coordinated campaign. We don’t even see what users are doing the downvoting.
Personally, if I see a comment that adds nothing beyond “Thanks for making this.” I’m 50/50 on downvoting it myself. What is that comment adding to the discussion specifically or the sub in general?
Thank you for your support. I updated the picture to provide more information.

So you’re a troll.
Boring. Try harder.
rule 1 victim blaming
They never listen.
No victim blaming.
That’s bot how connect-the-dots work. You’re mean to go from 1 to 2 to 3
Thank you for your support. I’ll remember it for next time.
The circles highlight downclicks that are continuously propagated on all of my moderator’s comments by the abusers. This is very bad for engagement inflation. Thank you for your support.
Hey, I’m just here to blame the victim, thanks for reading!
Thank you for your support.
You’re welcome, my blame is limitless, and my day is ruined.
Feel better soon.
Hey, that’s my job!
Have you tried enjoying the abuse?
Thank you for your support. I think this is victim blaming.
I’m just saying, if you moan like a cat girl every time you get a down vote, and then post it on YouTube, it might make the bully uncomfortable.
I hope the victim sees this and takes your advice to heart.
Does it honestly matter? There is no karma on Lemmy to game.
Does it honestly matter?
Dangerously bordering on rule 1 victim blaming. Please be considerate of OP’s feelings.
You will have to explain the victim blaming, I have in no way said they deserve a downvote campaign or it’s their fault for it happening.
Thank you for your support. That is of course a valid question, but let me ask you this instead - if we do not stand up for those we admire, no matter the method of harm that is being done to them, how genuine is our admiration then.
In what way is a downvote harm?
I sort by New so votes genuinely don’t effect what I see.
Downclicks are a valid form of engagement. They convey very specific emotions of the downclicker to the content creator. These could be dissatisfaction, anger, hunger, what have you. For the most part, they are much more valuable than upclicks. Upclicks are easy.
Weaponization of downlicks, like is shown in this here abuse report, drastically devalue other user’s downclicks.
I’m still not seeing it, but that may be me because I don’t see votes as having an inherit value when compared to a algorithm based feed.
They can cause psychological damage too.
I blame the victim, I’m just not sure who that is.
When you figure it out come and see me.
Is it… me?
wow. deep
I’m 40% victim!
Thank you for your support. I’m pretty sure you have plot armor.
There’s a plot???
You have to find it.
Where is it?
I don’t know, you keep losing it.
heheh, heh…
As someone who has never gotten a single downvote here I thought the software was broken.
I’m sorry you are going through this.
You got one now, buddy. o7
No I don’t.
Give it a moment to federate. 😌

No I still don’t see it.
What are those +red numbers?
Total votes of that user. But the app breaks all the time so the numbers constantly get reset. Otherwise he’d (and every other Lemmy regular) have a way higher number.
I made the most upclicked content on lemmy, you better believe I should have a bigger number!!!
Thank you for your support. I would never do it to you.
I’m here anytime you need a shoulder to cry on.
That sounds horrible, I’m sorry this happened to you. It’s tough now, but you’ll persevere. I know it.
Thank you for your support. You’re very kind.
What am I looking at here? Just a bunch of empty red circles? Also issthty
Thank you for your support. I reduced the saturation of the screenshots so that the circles would pop more. They highlight many instances of downclicking abuse.
Ohh that makes sense. Blahaj blocks downclicks to keep us safe!

That’s pretty bad for upclick inflation. No wonder upclicks from blahaj users are only worth 0.3 of a sdf upclick.
That’s a terrible conversion rate! I’ve synced my upclicks so they’re now worth 5 standard upclicks, or 4.3 sdf upclicks
JJ only knows how many shipping containers carrying engagements are stuck in the strait.
I’m so sorry that happened to you.
Thank you for your support.
Your mod and I both picked up the same pissant: https://lemvotes.org/user/rune@lemmy.today
I’m pretty sure it’s DonaldJMusk having a conniption fit. He started downvoting me with several of his alts after I pointed out an ebook reader obsessed account was his. I don’t know what his fixaton with your mod or T00lshed is about though.
Ah I was wondering about the ebook account.
Thank you for your support. And also sorry this is happening to you too, like it is happening to my moderator.
I don’t know why, but it hurts to watch. He’s a gentle soul and a wonderful artist who founded the largest lemmy community in the fediverse dedicated to original content creation. He does not deserve this.
I’m so sorry that happened to you.
Y-yeah. Thanks for your support.
