Besides it's a very important question for our privacy, I suspect some of my comments getting downvoted at set periods of time from other accounts. I don't understand how the fediverse work and what I'm asking is who has vote logs? Who I can ask, if a bot, like on reddit, got dedicated to downvote every post from one user. How to avoid vote brigading on here? Can it be automated?

I'm not pissed and I do know I post literal shit sometimes. It's just I'm wondering, if our fedieverse have machanics against that.

I think you should stop worrying about pointless internet points that don’t matter to anyone.

Vote brigading matters. If you're subscribed to a 'controversial' community and every post gets downvoted to oblivion, you and other subscribers who sort by 'hot/top' won't see the post unless they go directly to the community.

This slowly kills the community, even if its users are active on Lemmy.

Which is why I only sort by new

Still, very easy to miss a post from a small community when you've got many other larger subscriptions.
