  • Banning IP ranges is a terrible “solution”. It hurts innocent while malicious actor could always circumvent it easily by using proxy/VPN/Tor.

    My crude suggestion would be to restrict voting for new accounts (until certain karma threshold and time passed) like on HackerNews (one of the most civilized and helpful comment sections I’ve ever seen, lemmy has a lot to learn from it).

    Additionally it could cost you karma to downvote, so unless you bring something useful to discussions once in a while, you can’t downvote others.

    Another option is to disable visible vote counter for everyone, so there would be little point in downvoting as means of harassment
