I recommend you touch grass. Valuing yourself by imaginary internet points is not going to do you any good.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

That data is available is the ActivityPub but as far as I know, you don't have access to the vote data as a Lemmy user. You would have access to this data if you were running your own Lemmy server.
But honestly, let it go. Someone stole fake Internet points from you. It costs you nothing but it cost them 5 minutes of their lives. You're having a fight with some stranger that doesn't value their own time. Value your time and stop feeding these kinds of energy vampires. You deserve better! Have a wonderful day my friend :)
Thank you. It's not so much about the fake points, but when people start to get stalkery like that it makes me uncomfortable. I guess I could try to stop having unpopular opinions but it doesn't seem likely.
If you think you are being brigaded you can talk to the admins to see if they can catch someone abusing the system, but otherwise trying to find the names of the people downvoting you is pretty stalker in itself. What are you going to do with that info?
Obviously they just want to go through THEIR history and downvote all THEIR comments with a vengeance. Just like any emotionally stable adult would do.
Lol, no it seems that I've misunderstood how blocking works on Lemmy. I had hoped to block them from seeing my content in the future since it clearly bothers them so much. From the responses here it seems like there's nothing productive to be done.
Don't bring further attention to it and they'll likely move on. Someone once downvoted ten pages worth of my most recent comments but they never did it again.
you're starting to get stalkery
Sounds like someone's salty that they can't go back and return the favor.
Ironically, your post made me curious as to what you said to get downvoted, so I went through and read your dumb comments. I didn't see anything that looked like a positive contribution to the site, just you getting angry at anyone who doesn't agree with you.
Lol with the amount of downvotes OP gets, how would they be able to tell if one person went through and downvotes all their posts?

You post a lot of controversial takes, I wouldn't be surprised with the amount of downvotes. Also downvotes don't matter.

On kbin you can see who has downvoted/upvoted your content. So if you view your comment on there you should be able to see it. The answer is no to your last question. Looking at your history I would just assume heavy upvotes or downvotes depending on what area of the fediverse you’re posting in.
I had the same idea but it seems only kbin users' downvotes appear on kbin (but you can see lemmy users' upvotes). Have you managed to see lemmy downvotes like this at some point?
kbin does not federate downvotes at all, as far as I know, so this wouldn't be possible.
Kbin doesn't federate downvotes because they do not have downvotes. Nor do they have upvotes.
We have Favorite, Reduce, and Boost.
Yeah, highly relevant distinction, that.
I’ve never bothered no. Maybe I’m mistaken.
That seems like a weird feature to include, as I'd think it'd scale badly down the line if kbin becomes extremely popular. You'd be wasting a ton of resources having to query the database and retrieve potentially thousands of users for very popular posts/comments.

It's also possible that person was wondering what else you wrote and didn't downvote the past posts out of spite, but because they actually read them and disagreed or disliked them too 😆

You can I guess if that vote by someone in your instance or maybe via the ActivityPub protocol.
Though points do not matter in Lemmy. There's no algorithm so it does not have a effect nor are there karmas in Lemmy. Let it go bro.
No. Some well-adjusted person apparently followed me to do the same. As funny/sad as that is, I'm grateful for how sane it makes me feel.
Blocking probably does not work - it prevents you from seeing people's posts and comments, that seems to be about it.
If you run a server...
#!/bin/sh
INSTANCE=myinstance.com
psql -U lemmy -c "SELECT (person.name || '@' || instance.domain) AS user,
('https://' || instance.domain || '/u/' || person.name) AS their_instance_url,
('https://${INSTANCE}/u/' || person.name || '@' || instance.domain) AS url,
comment_like.score
FROM comment_like
JOIN person ON comment_like.person_id = person.id
JOIN instance ON person.instance_id = instance.id WHERE comment_id = $1;"
Edit: lol@ the downvotes. Do people think lemmy operates on the principles of magic? Sorry my SQL offends you.
I see why you are getting downvoted.
Thanks for alerting me to your "content". I did leave some downvotes on your most unfortunate comments.

Just join a downvote disabled server and leave this nonsense behind.
