One of my many admirers just went through literally every single post or comment I’ve ever made to downvote. Is there a way to see who it is and save them from having to see my posts in the future?
Also, is that how blocking works? I know that I won’t see posts from someone I’ve blocked but does it also stop them from seeing/interacting with my content?
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.
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.
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.
I tend to respond in a tone I’m addressed with, but I am trying to do better.
try this instead. When someone insults you or says something to make you angry, reply with something sickeningly sweet and loving. Trust me. It’s a powerful weapon. kill them with kindness.
Use any of these:
I love you ❤️
You are loved.
Have a blissful day.
More often than not it has the effect of silencing them because it neutralizes their vitriol like pouring water on a fire.
Personally I’m not a fan of this approach because you don’t really believe what you’re saying to them, it’s more just being passive-aggressive/sarcastic.
My preferred approach is to try to understand someone’s position and trying to wrap my head around the fundamental disagreement between us. That’s assuming of course that I’m in the right headspace; I’m not immune to getting caught up in online toxicity.
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.
I see why you are getting downvoted.
Thanks for alerting me to your “content”. I did leave some downvotes on your most unfortunate comments.
I recommend you touch grass. Valuing yourself by imaginary internet points is not going to do you any good.
