Sorry if it’s a dumb question. I’m not even knocking or shaming, I just think they’re really funny and want to see more if you know of them. Not accounts that downvote, accounts that ONLY downvote. Rare ones. Like weapons-grade haters.

I’d collect them in my user tags. And like, just observe what they respond to.

  • I found an account that went on my profile and downvoted a bunch of comments in rapid succession (because timestamps are withing those 2 minutes), particulary ones complaining about China / Chinese culture. I went in their profile and apparantly they linked to a website… which I assume it’s their own site (or could be impersonation not sure), which linked to their social medias and they appear to be another Chinese diaspora judging by their name and profile pic…

    I’m so confused lmao… nationalism much?

      Oof yeah sometimes it’s easy to set someone off. I don’t think I’ve had a personal dedicated hater like that yet. I got heavy handed with the block function when I first got here though. People should use that instead of going through your profile.

      That said I also remember acting similarly petulant at least once when I first got here. Maybe it’s something people can grow out of.

      (But can you send me your hater’s profile?)

          Ohhhh wait I encountered a person who did that too. I kept trying to bring him back up like “noooo who’s killing my guy” but didn’t understand why he did it

              I do that.

              I want to see ACCURATE vote-stats on my comments, NOT with the “self-esteem-plushie” self-upvote.

              I find accuracy-of-view much more valuable than social-esteem’s “cushioning”.

              Were I to code a fediverse-server it’d have no means of upvoting/downvoting one’s own posts or comments: everything would start from zero, right where it ought, for accuracy-of-view.

              ( emotional-disinformation is a category/kind of disinformation, & it-too is a comfort-addiction among too-many of our world.

              The older I get, the more-ruthless I have to become, in order to cut-through all the disinformation-gunk that humankind’s snuffing itself, its viability with.

              Emotionally-comforting-disinformation is disinformation exactly as “paper mills” are scientific disinformation. )

              Sometimes I forget to so-so, but every now & then, I’ll go through my profile, removing any polluting upvotes.

              Accuracy’s better than pseudovalidity/comfort.

    My instance has downvoting disabled and (I think) also does not federate downvotes. So 0/default is as low a comment score as I’ll ever see!
