Its a shame because they’re prominent voice on lemmy. Good on the admins for not tolerating this. I don’t understand the point of targeting a person you don’t like on the internet just because they said something that upset you and spamming their post with downvotes. If you don’t like someone block their ass and be done with it. I agree with the perspective that its harassment (and an incredibly petty ineffective form of it at that)
Deeply unserious. I feel bad for them, seems they feel dogpiled on and are trying to defend themselves, but in doing so they are lashing out even at people not directly mentioning them.
