Not playing the victim. I’m merely stating that vote manipulation is bad, regardless who is on the receiving end. (I didn’t start this thread, I just happen to be an example used in it.)

Organic downvoting me is fine–I get plenty of those. Setting up bots/instances to manipulate downvotes isn’t fine though, because it hurts Lemmy as a whole. They won’t just stop at me, they can start attacking other users or even you. Not cool.

Which is the topic of the thread.
