I also noticed sometimes after getting into an argument it’s like they go through my profile and start downvoting everything. I feel like any vote that comes from someone’s profile (rather than in the wild) should be flagged as suspicious because it feels like they’re never genuine.
It’s super obvious when it happens to you, but it’s not obvious when you see it in the wild. It would be a great improvement to the site to just show the users who downvoted/upvoted.
Brigaders.
People with like 10 accounts that upvote themselves/downvote dissent.
That’s a problem not a solution.

Kbin votes are public so we can see brigades in action.
Apparently Lemmy votes are too but it’s not accessible in the native interface, only from Kbin. Maybe a third party client will implement it.
