I logged into Kbin today to see 18 notifications where the same guy banned me from all of their magazines for downvoting them.

I was only subscribed to 1 of those magazines, but it's still annoying to wake up to 18 ban messages from someone who got easily angered from a downvote.

(Side note: IMO, this is why being able to see downvotes is bad. Even if anyone could see them by spinning up their own instance, that's a lot of work compared to pressing 2 buttons.)

I've blocked the guy, but is there anything that can be done to stop this from proliferating across the site?

wait, can you see who downvotes you?

[-] Voyajer@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Yup, I've already caught someone who went through and downvoted a lot of my comments within the span of a minute because of it.

Lemmy won't let you see it; it's just a Kbin thing.

[-] comedy@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Yes, if you click on "more," next to "reply" and "boost." Click on "activity" from there.

Imagine having the time to actually look at all that nonsense just to find out who clicked an arrow icon halfway around the world.

I don't think people really understand just how privileged it is to be here dawdling at all, given time, technology, access, etc ... nevermind dawdling maliciously over something so petty.

Then again you could easily make bots to check all that shit, do the cross referencing, and pump out a black list of folks you don't want to interact with. I can see there's a lot of use in that for moderation and administration, but as a user? Begging for problems. It won't ever create positivity to have people able to see that. I understand the protocol won't hide it, but apps can.

Edit, Wait, I'm not even sure the protocol allows for downvotes anyway, that's specific to the apps isn't it? So there's a conscious decision going on to show them? That's a miss.

Seriously I like platforms like this, and sometimes argue, or discuss, or whatever.

But if someone dislikes what I say and downvotes all my posts, so what? Who cares?

If someone says I would have less credibility due to having less upvotes in total, I again would say who cares?

To care is addiction.

yep, it's just standing there... menacingly

[-] GeekFTW@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Click more on any thread or comment and click activity. "Reduces" are down votes.

[-] EpicMuch@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

a TIL for me too. I can't see who downvotes from the comment icons themselves, not sure where people are finding that

[-] le__el@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That info is public available on kbin (this post was federated from kbin.social).

On lemmy, I believe only the admins have access to this info by looking at the database itself.
