Saw this a lot on Reddit. Its not specific to here, just trying to gauge how people think. I’d see people posting about how “X said this! Have you seen what else they said in their site history?” And a stream of votebombing would happen.
I also wonder if this behaviour went the other way. Bias was confirmed, so profiles get a little boost? There are sites that hide posts and comments after a certain number of downvotes, but these always seemed to get the engagement even after.
Had a guy call me “boomer” online a couple of times. Had to point out that “boomer” was from “baby boomer” and those people were about 65 and over. Turned out he was in his 60s and the insult didnt register.
