I recommend you touch grass. Valuing yourself by imaginary internet points is not going to do you any good.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

That data is available is the ActivityPub but as far as I know, you don't have access to the vote data as a Lemmy user. You would have access to this data if you were running your own Lemmy server.
But honestly, let it go. Someone stole fake Internet points from you. It costs you nothing but it cost them 5 minutes of their lives. You're having a fight with some stranger that doesn't value their own time. Value your time and stop feeding these kinds of energy vampires. You deserve better! Have a wonderful day my friend :)
Thank you. It's not so much about the fake points, but when people start to get stalkery like that it makes me uncomfortable. I guess I could try to stop having unpopular opinions but it doesn't seem likely.
If you think you are being brigaded you can talk to the admins to see if they can catch someone abusing the system, but otherwise trying to find the names of the people downvoting you is pretty stalker in itself. What are you going to do with that info?
Obviously they just want to go through THEIR history and downvote all THEIR comments with a vengeance. Just like any emotionally stable adult would do.
Lol, no it seems that I've misunderstood how blocking works on Lemmy. I had hoped to block them from seeing my content in the future since it clearly bothers them so much. From the responses here it seems like there's nothing productive to be done.
Don't bring further attention to it and they'll likely move on. Someone once downvoted ten pages worth of my most recent comments but they never did it again.
you're starting to get stalkery
Sounds like someone's salty that they can't go back and return the favor.
Ironically, your post made me curious as to what you said to get downvoted, so I went through and read your dumb comments. I didn't see anything that looked like a positive contribution to the site, just you getting angry at anyone who doesn't agree with you.
Lol with the amount of downvotes OP gets, how would they be able to tell if one person went through and downvotes all their posts?
Did someone get in a petty Internet fight?
You post a lot of controversial takes, I wouldn't be surprised with the amount of downvotes. Also downvotes don't matter.
Just for clarity, it's not the number of downvotes. I don't really care about that. However, I was looking through some of my old posts and I noticed that all of a sudden every single post had exactly one more down vote, which especially stands out on posts that literally nobody saw or voted on from months ago.
It doesn't take a detective to see that an individual went through and downvoted every single post regardless of the topic or community.
I had hoped to see who the person was and just block them from seeing my content, but it looks like that is not how blocking works on Lemmy anyway. It seems more like muting somebody.
If you’re going to keep saying spicy things, your secret admirer should be able to keep booing you.
Trying to keep your public posts private is a fool’s errand.
Could be someone running a server. Would be easy for them to wholesale script to go thru all your posts and down vote.
It's also possible that person was wondering what else you wrote and didn't downvote the past posts out of spite, but because they actually read them and disagreed or disliked them too 😆
It could be, but I have content on a lot of different communities and topics. I know that the political stuff can be controversial, and that's fine if people don't like what they see. When someone goes through and is down voting comments that I made on stupid memes in a different community, that's a little bit of a red flag.
In any case, it seems like there's nothing productive to be done about it based on how lemmy works. At least I understand a little bit more about blocking and voting on this platform now. Always happy to learn.
How do you even know someone was down voting old posts?
You can I guess if that vote by someone in your instance or maybe via the ActivityPub protocol.
Though points do not matter in Lemmy. There's no algorithm so it does not have a effect nor are there karmas in Lemmy. Let it go bro.
If you run a server...
#!/bin/sh
INSTANCE=myinstance.com
psql -U lemmy -c "SELECT (person.name || '@' || instance.domain) AS user,
('https://' || instance.domain || '/u/' || person.name) AS their_instance_url,
('https://${INSTANCE}/u/' || person.name || '@' || instance.domain) AS url,
comment_like.score
FROM comment_like
JOIN person ON comment_like.person_id = person.id
JOIN instance ON person.instance_id = instance.id WHERE comment_id = $1;"
Edit: lol@ the downvotes. Do people think lemmy operates on the principles of magic? Sorry my SQL offends you.
Report it to the admins.
I see why you are getting downvoted.
Thanks for alerting me to your "content". I did leave some downvotes on your most unfortunate comments.
Well, they can't all be hits.
Well, if you were an artist and your comment would be songs, and I were your producer, I would have dropped you a long time ago.
Just join a downvote disabled server and leave this nonsense behind.
You are being downvoted because you are shedding the actual truth about what is going in Israel right now. And lemmy doesnt like that.
I welcome the influx of downvotes coming towards me.
