Yeah, but then what?
So you have confirmed that you have a fan club that likes to downvote you. What would you even do with this info?
Comment on Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say
UniversalMonk@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I say yes!!
I have a particular set of people that actually follow me from community to community, just to downvote what I say and the articles I post. All because I posted an article about the Green Party to the c/politics sub. lol
So if you are determined enough to do that, then ya shouldn’t be upset that people can see what you’re doing.

However, this particular user has deluded themself into believing this grandiose nonsense that they have a club of users who stalk them to downvote their stuff, when in reality we all come across them naturally because:
- Lemmy is a pretty small place.
- They’re a reasonably prolific commenter.
- Every time they show up somewhere, it’s a woe-is-me victim complex about how they’re being downvoted (immediately drawing attention) or making the absolute shittest political takes imaginable, which again draws attention and downvotes. This could definitely be survivorship bias where I only notice their username on comments that are doing these two things and not on normal ones.
I personally do not give enough of a shit about this user to waste any precious time or effort stalking them across Lemmy.

And I wish more people felt that way!
UniversalMonk@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I may do that if it gets too annoying. Thank you!
UniversalMonk@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Well I’d call them out on it and ask why they feel the need to do that.
Maybe, just maybe, if they know people could see how obsessive they are, it would take the fun out of the stalking.
I mean, at the end of the day, I don’t care THAT much one way or the other. I just think it would be funny to give them a shoutout and welcome them to another round of downvoting.
I posted an article about a ninety-year-old woman being the oldest person to graduate from Illinois University. 9 downvotes within one minute of posting it. lmao
Right now they are laughing and rubbing their hands together when I post something, just so they can downvote it. Which is funny and sad. Like am I really that important?! lol
So public or not public, I don’t care, but we can vote for, I’d say yes.
But I won’t cry if Lemmy doesn’t make the votes public. And I doubt there will be many Lemmy users that want their votes public, so I don’t think it’s gonna happen.

Them I want my haters too. Where are you people
UniversalMonk@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Wow I want my obsessed about me haters too. Where are you people
Go post an article about the Green Party into the c/politics sub. Not only will you get plenty of people following you to downvote, but you’ll get called a “russian troll farm employee” every single day. So double win!!

c/politics. Great mods. But the majority of users there really really hate the Green Party. lmao

You don’t, you just pretend that you do.
UniversalMonk@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Hey, wow! What a coincidence. Funny that you would show up at the EXACT time I am talking about people following me. Crazy coincidence, don’t ya think?
It’d be super fun to see who it is following me and downvoting me, right? I mean, not that YOU’D ever do that, right? All because I posted a Green Party article to a politics sub. You suuuurrreee wouldn’t be the type of person to do that, I bet! Right?
Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
SatansMaggotyCumFart is one username I immediately identify because I see their comments so often. Are you sure?
UniversalMonk@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Well in this thread, just now, he just posted yet another screen shot of how many posts I make. Which he has already done about me today. In different communities, so…
SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Here you are throwing baseless accusations my way again.
You have proof about those, right?
UniversalMonk@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I may have proof soon. But you have nothing to worry about, right?
UniversalMonk@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I didn’t say you did it. In fact, I said you never would do that. I mean, you wouldn’t be the kind of person to do that, right?
