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.
I’m well aware. I’m not talking about those situations. I’m talking ~20 comments deep on a thread that has seen no other action for multiple days. And I’m not talking about it just getting one downvote between when I reply from people happening to find it.
And even then, I just check. I’m not harassing people, I’m not jumping to immediately blocking. I’m just looking to see if it is something weird going on. If there is, I block.
And I haven’t done any of this since last year. No need.
