Maybe I’m oversensitive? We all know our votes here are public record, but to me it seems like weird, obsessive, and unhealthy behavior.

It definitely is a red flag for me to the point where I wonder if I shouldn’t just outright block people who go around making it known it’s something the participate in.

    Yeah. I did it though. Wish I hadn’t but shitty pattern seeking brain was like “but what if something interesting happens? What if you have an arch enemy”

    No such luck, but it turns out there’s a few accounts who just downvote everything indiscriminately and that’s a little funny

      The doing it doesn’t bother me so much as the “Hey so I was browsing through my downvotes and noticed you downvoted me. Justify your actions to me!” PMs.

      Like - I don’t even know who you are or what you’re talking about. Thanks for the research project so I can piece together all these disparate pieces of information so I can figure out wtf you’re even talking about.

        That is not healthy behavior.
