No, it doesn't.

If these lemmings you refer to are based from lemmy, and are downvoting, it has nothing to do with piefed. Silent downvoters have always been a thing on here.

    I mean it seems like a way to boycott people using PieFed by using voting how it's not meant to be and affect the reach of posts to PieFed users since they may get hidden from the feed if those kind of people downvote posts very early on and make it only visible on Lemmy side since this hiding posts isn't a default thing like it is on PieFed.

    Is there no kind of Downvote Nerf Lists, for like, putting users who acts like this to not count their downvotes just for you (however visible to everyone else), or is it a not feasible thing?

    Piefed does have inbuilt tools that throttle bloc downvoters, but most of the downvoters accounts you refer to are from Lemmy in this case. So it would not impact them, although after a certain threshold - piefed-based users would no longer receive these downvotes.

    I don't know what you mean though by posts being automatically hidden by downvotes on piefed. I have never noticed this.
