Revenge downvoting (kbin.social)

Is it considered acceptable to "revenge downvote" by going to a user's profile and downvoting all their posts or comments? I've seen some of this behavior going on and I don't think it reflects very well on the Fediverse or Kbin.

EDIT: Honestly didn't expect this post, of all posts, to be the one to open me up to hate. Thought fedizens were friendlier than that.

The way Kbin works, it is trivial to get revenge after an argument by just going to their profile and downvoting them into oblivion. I don't think reputation points matter nearly as much here, but it is annoying.

Or it's just that people don't like you using this platform to promote your cult.

If you don't like a particular religion for some reason, I get that. But if someone is posting stuff about their religion to a sub about their religion, how can you get mad about that?

Is baldness a cult?

Found one of the bigots.

Pointing out the inflammatory reasons that you're being downvoted does not make someone a bigot. Maybe it's time to self reflect and reevaluate why these people find those posts abhorrent. It's pretty clear to most of us just looking through your post history at what has been downvoted the most.

Also the rep point system is bugged right now. Upvotes don't count but boosts count as upvotes. Downvotes work fine.
