Anyone else had problems with downvoting bots? - sh.itjust.works

Earlier today I made a comment that someone must have found controversial, because I noticed that all of my posts and most of my comments made in the last month have received about a dozen downvotes each, all happening today. Has anyone experienced anything similar and is there anything that can be done to combat that sort of thing from happening? I think that reddit used to only shadow downvote when voting from a user’s profile. I’m assuming Lemmy isn’t that advanced yet.

I have an idea about downvoting, and it seems like this would be the place to float it. What if when you downvoted something you had to fill out a box with the reason? I know that you can’t hold people to this, but the thought here is to make downvoting more of a conscious decision than just click and move on.
Sure, if we also agree the same for upvotes. And we accept that the karma system is going to become useless or dominated by the fringe.
Ok. I never said it was a great idea. LOL.
