    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!

        The specific college was Brigham Young University, a well-known conservative Mormon college that mandates religious education.

        The persecution complex with a total lack of self reflection is truly epic.

    I may do that if it gets too annoying. Thank you!

  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.
