Never experienced this in years.
Everything seems same as always. Still unreadable flagged/downvoted comments, still too small font, stil Downvote button, still Flag button without requiring public reason.
What's the motivation behind such thing? Why bother setting up bots for downvoting accounts?
(FWIW I often get upvoted within seconds of posting)
this stopped happening immediately after I created new account, if HN would be transparent and showing who flagged or downvoted your comment and everyone would need to provide publicly visible reason for doing it we wouldn't have this discussion
