    You could act like my cat after buying her the coolest, most expensive toy: just ignore it.

      Ok kinda off topic but you don’t need expensive toys. Just watch what your cat enjoys doing the most. For mine, it’s jumping (herself or the toy) and feathers.

        pretty sure their cat mostly enjoys ignoring all the sacrificial gifts they bring them.

        It’s just a different way of enjoying the toy, that’s all.

        I give me car plastic straps that holds bundles of news papers together. I deliver news papers so it’s a endless supply . Also a little beaver you can stuff with catnip I got for like $5 .

    I wondered about that - I sort of assumed it was either a cat hater who’d accidentally subscribed “why do these things keep popping up in my feed?”, or someone with impossibly high standards for what a cat is “No, that’s just not quite cat enough. That’s a down vote from me”.

    A bot is probably a more likely explanation.

    Yes, you are right. If a mod wants I can send them the username and they can ban them from the community. I can see it as an admin from my instance but I can’t take action.

    I think there’s a way to look up the logs of who downvoted and then you can just block them. It won’t block them for everyone else, though.

      The bots are trying real hard to bury this post. Guess I triggered the keyword. How does one look that log up? And does blocking a user really disable them from downvoting your post?

        Or maybe this isn’t the kind of content (even well tagged meta) that lots of readers want to see or think is good in general.

        Of course, traditionally any whining about downvotes or other vote manipulation should be met with downvotes.
