I logged into Kbin today to see 18 notifications where the same guy banned me from all of their magazines for downvoting them.

I was only subscribed to 1 of those magazines, but it’s still annoying to wake up to 18 ban messages from someone who got easily angered from a downvote.

(Side note: IMO, this is why being able to see downvotes is bad. Even if anyone could see them by spinning up their own instance, that’s a lot of work compared to pressing 2 buttons.)

I’ve blocked the guy, but is there anything that can be done to stop this from proliferating across the site?

    All of the downvotes/upvotes are public via the ActivityPub protocol. That’s part of the system. Hiding it on the front-end for kbin only obscures the mechanism.

    That’s just the limitation of the current technology.

    I feel the downvote is equally as important as the upvote, sometimes bad posts and comments just need negative reaction
