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.

Is voting “vote manipulation” though?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It is when you use multiple accounts to vote multiple times on the same content.

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

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

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.
