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.

    The most preferred way to engage with toxic people are to downvote the post/comment in question, report them, and block them. Trawling their history like that would make me even unhappier, voting being anonymous or not.
