Looking at your reduces, the same person is down voting all my stuff, too. They're probably running a script or something
What a fricking weirdo.
There needs to be a way to report someone to their instance, not just the mods of a magazine, like you do on Mastodon. People like this being a nuisance across magazines need to be handled at the instance level.
Oh hey, they found us on this thread
And here I’d thought they’d gotten bored and moved on.
To be serious, though, I have them blocked. I just doublechecked. In most places, blocking would make anything I post or comment completely inaccessible to them. They shouldn’t be able to see it or interact with anything. But clearly they can. So what does blocking do, exactly?
At this point, I'm just amused that you went on a screed about downvotes after doing it yourself -- that it bugs you this much when it accomplishes nothing is kinda funny. Downvotes don't impact your account in any way; it's just there for looks.
I saw them complaining about another user by name doing the same to them yesterday or the day before. I remember because I clicked through, noticed it was going both ways, and thought it was stupid to bitch about something while doing it as well.
They posted somewhere to specially accuse of of downvoting all their comments after they had gone through literally downvoting all of mine, and after I had blocked them, soI was like, “dude, I wouldn’t even know who you ARE if this hadn’t shown up in my mentions.” I think I downvoted maaaybe three of their comments in one of my posts that I honestly disagreed with and hadn’t even looked at their main page until then. I have no idea what his issue is other than me telling him not to be a dick to other people. Dude is projecting hard.
Just wanted to chime in that I had the same experience. I was rather unsatisfied with the fact that a user I blocked could apparently see (while logged in) and reply to my comment at all.
If blocking someone is just license for them to make terrible replies to my comments without giving me the chance to answer them... that's unsatisfying.
I feel like blocking someone should make it so they can’t see your posts or respond to them at all, and at the very least so you can’t see anything they respond to or include you in without it being your choice. Right now, it’s almost the opposite. You can’t see their comments, but they can still see and interact with you, and the system lets you know they have, but leaves you with no way to react other than unblocking them. That’s not at all how it’s supposed to work.
@ernest - just a heads up that I'm experiencing the same bug - notifications from blocked accounts. Wouldn't normally be an issue, but we've got a couple of trolls that like to go back to old threads and keep replying to try and bait a response.
And eventually, there will be issues with harassment, because that’s just how idiots on the internet are. This is something that needs to be fixed before it becomes an actual problem, I reckon.
Damn, they really don't like you. Have an upvote as fucktard insurance.
The absolutely wild thing is, I literally have only replied to them once, the first time, when I requested they not be a dick to someone. Oh boy, did they take it personally.
I've got a couple like that, especially after I ended up kicking the hornet's nest that's noagendasocial.com. In my defense, they deserved it as they've got literal FSB agents posting there, and I was under the mistaken impression that Adam Curry still had a soul.
On the plus side, Adam Curry labeled me an official disappointment of his, so I guess every troll has its silver whining.
If you’re going to kick a hornet’s nest, kick a big one, eh?
Honestly, I didn't even know Adam Curry was still alive. I just remembered his hair from when I was 8 and watching him on MTV. This Russian troll had popped over here, found out his account was there (and much worse than I thought initially), so I looked up the admin because I was like, dude, if you're American and literally publishing war propaganda from a Russian FSB agent, someone should give you a heads up. Sent him a note about it and that's when things got fun. I honestly had no idea that the place had the rep it did, but damn, there's some dark alleys in the Fediverse.
Ah, we finally got to the point of "anyone who disagrees with me is a troll." Took longer than I thought. This thread is becoming a great way to populate my blocklist.
Nope, just don't wanna deal with fucktards after I've blocked them. Shouldn't have to deal with them 2-3 weeks later popping up on my notifications - not a big ask. Dunno how you got offended seeing as I have no idea who you are.
This dude (the one you replied to) is one of or the person going around on downvote rampages. I noticed this guy downvoted pretty much all my posts for some reason, no clue who he even is, and don't recall having any interactions with him.
That would make me an unhappy camper too... guy seems to have a crab up his ass about something, but I'm sure as hell not gonna try to pull it out to figure out what it is.
That being said, welcome to the fucktard insurance upvote chain! :)
I swear, some folks on here really need to get a productive hobby.
Jack shit apparently
Maybe just a bug?
One that very much needs to be fixed.
Probably
I had a look and did not find an issue about receiving notifications from blocked users. I might've missed it, but feel free to add one https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues or I can add one for you
Regarding messaging instance admins, there is a contact link in the footer, but I have no idea what it does or if it works. Perhaps there needs to be an issue to streamline that process as well (interestingly my instance links a mastodon and email contact, kbin. socials is a bit vague with no information)
I don’t have an account on codeberg, so could you make an issue about it? I would really appreciate it.
Blocking magazines doesn’t do anything either.
Blocking needs a complete overhaul, honestly.
Yeah, apparently I annoyed someone on Kbin.social who then went into my history and downvoted most of it. I reported them, but I’m not sure if anything was done about it.
