A individual user airing their personal biases and manipulating lemmy isn't good for the community, regardless of how you feel about their target. This is a really bad thing (tm)

That user is pretty annoying tho, I'm pretty sure I've downvoted them organically a ton of times. Setting up your own instance to do it automatically is next level tho, and definitely should be blocked.

I almost support automated downvoting of Universalmonk's ban evasion alts.

i-think-that harrassing fascists out of your community when the admins won't do anything is good actually.
in reply to ProfessorOwl_PhD [any]

I agree, but It can be used against better people. They get downvoted organically anyway/
in reply to giacomo

So, you don't have a karma total, like reddit. Your individual posts/comments still can be downvoted, which limits their visibility.
