People switch accounts you know, I had to switch account after people set up downvote bots on my account when I had downvoted comments within minute from posting.

> account after people set up downvote bots on my account

What's the motivation behind such thing? Why bother setting up bots for downvoting accounts?

(FWIW I often get upvoted within seconds of posting)

silent the views you disagree with by making them unreadable and it's rather trivial to set up for folks here

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

I’ve had multiple accounts going back to at least 2013. People make new accounts all the time.
