Always remember that one internet dweller with 10 accounts can consistently manipulate downvotes to change perspective of certain opinions.

    It means you’re annoying the right people. Probably.

    There is an unending treadmill of people who consistently apply a sprinkling of two or three downvotes on all of my posts (not comments), which at this point I’m convinced are people who don’t understand that Lemmy doesn’t have an algorithm, as such, and think clicking the down arrow means “don’t show me stuff like this in the future.” Which is not how it works.

    You don’t get rid of me that easily, in other words.

      My instance Blahaj has downvotes disabled, so I just ignore/block things I don’t like and upvote what I do. I like that better honestly.
