Apparently upset someone enough saying democrat hakim Jeffries is just the same as Republicans for negotiating with kushner to get that user or user to direct others at me to unleash downvoting bots or alt accounts to downvote everything I comment now.
Example is 3 accounts with no activity lately or just created within the last week on multiple instances.
There a way to deal with this or just an annoyance that is part of the fediverse?

Removing down votes, and only keep upvotes
I would press charges if I were you, and see what punishment, if any, the !downvotecourt@lemmy.today can hand out.
It can be expensive to go through the courts, with lawyer fees etc, but this court seems to be amenable to self representation.
Neaten up your hair and wear something formal before presenting yourself before the judge. Good luck, and may justice prevail!
Get used to it, if you engage a lot in political related topics.
I found this post searching for the "project.." username. Seems like a bot account they've got stalking me as well. This is one of those times that I'm reminded just how weird human beings can be. I'm fairly sure actually that the same bot owner has some other bot accounts stalking me with constant downvotes right now. No matter how innocuous of a thing I say, I keep getting 2-3 downvotes on everything. Bizarre behavior.
the read problem is that people sort by top or hot and that's where the downvoting has an impact.
its called narrative management in the epstein files.
You don't deal with them. If the numbers get you upset, you can disable downvotes in account settings. It's just a client side thing, though. It will only hide the downvotes from you.
