What? Ok?
This isn’t a comment on a sub thread of a sub thread of an otherwise long dead thread jumping from no downvotes to -3 in like a single day (between the time I made my comment and the time I’m responding to the reply). I’m not actively watching this stuff and I think you’ve misunderstood what I’m talking about.
Now if you’re going to check my profile page over the next few days to a week? Then I might notice the downvotes and look, but I honestly haven’t noticed anything like that or checked votes against my comments since the event I mentioned in my last comment with that powermod, which was sometime last year.
Downvotes on a comment like mine, offering a semi-reasonable explanation for disliked behavior, are entirely expected. Hell, downvotes an any comment expressing an opinion.
















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.
