The weird downvotes I’ve gotten don’t match the pattern other people have mentioned. Instead of mass downvoting of comments, I get a very early downvote (maybe a bit more than one, I haven’t checked carefully) on posts. It might be a different person.
I agree that mass downvoting is bad for the community, with no obvious upside to permitting it. Taking away the perpetrator’s downvote button seems like a reasonable punishment.

Thanks for expanding. That does make it sound more likely your downvoter isn’t whoever’s downvoting ialdabaoth.
