Who is the mass downvoter? How do we counter these attaks?: A thread

Many communities do not have mass-downvote problems. EDIT: it seems that it's likely either an incredibly specific (to the post level) bot that so far has not affected any comments, or a discord campaign. There is no other way a post gets so many downvotes in a matter of seconds. EDIT 2: This is actually funny because karma doesn't even exist on the Lemmygrad; its literally just meaningless numbers on a screen. EDIT 3: According to the Modlog, the mass downvoter @cummy@links.kaputt.cloud has been blocked...for 2 months. Make it 20 years, please. EDIT 4: IMO we should remove the downvote feature and rely more on reporting subversive comments. This way, trolls will have to genuinely create accounts to mess with us; this takes more effort than it does to block them.
