are mods privy to this behavior and are there any tools at their disposal to combat bad faith ‘brigading’ as such?

    The one user went way further back than 12h, I’m seeing it well into 3 weeks. That user hasn’t downvoted this thread yet.

    In the last 12 hours, this whole thread is the only thing on your profile that doesn’t have at least 3 downvotes, most much more than that. There’s only one repeat user across your entire profile, although you do have all your comments generally downvoted by the same users within a thread which isn’t super unexpected.

        Dude’s got some balls downvoting all your comments on a thread calling them out for doing that. Gonna make the LW admin’s job easy.

        Why? If it’s a human, imagine how much time and effort they wasted to achieve absolutely nothing. Although, in this case they did achieve something because by making this thread you let them know that they indeed succeed in getting under your skin. Do you know what this kind of users hate the most? Being ignored.

        Real user with many comments close to a hundred upvotes, although also a decent chunk of removed comments as well.
