  Someone commented the other day that they thought their ex was following then and down voting every comment. I do sometimes see posts or comments with one downvote and wonder why.

  Because it’s so consistant. Exactly one downvote on most of my comments within minutes of it being posted. I could see if I were on someones bad side, and they did this for like a week…this has been since day 1 of me being here, and it’s almost every comment.

  The ONLY thing I could think of that would piss someone off to stalk a profile like that, is if someone who uses and loves linux is THAT upset that I don’t understand linux. But the consistancy of it is just…I can’t imagine this is human. It’s just been going on for so long, on too many posts, and almost immediately after posting a comment. You’d think they’d give up if it were a human.

    I went through your comment history and I think you pass the vibe check, as in, there’s no reason someone should down vote by default. I think something is up but a bot targeting a random account seems weird. Which client do you use?

      Mostly my phone. I just use the samsung browser and go to the site directly. No app. Right now I’m on my tablet. Same concept, samsung tablet. Samsung browser.

      Oddly enough, I can’t use my PC at home. Firefox just will not load Lemmy, and I don’t know why. It loads parts of it…but the bulk of the page is just an endless spinny circle.
