Is there a way to see user likes and dislikes on lemmy?
One of my many admirers just went through literally every single post or comment I've ever made to downvote. Is there a way to see who it is and save them from having to see my posts in the future?
Also, is that how blocking works? I know that I won't see posts from someone I've blocked but does it also stop them from seeing/interacting with my content?

Sounds like someone's salty that they can't go back and return the favor.
Ironically, your post made me curious as to what you said to get downvoted, so I went through and read your dumb comments. I didn't see anything that looked like a positive contribution to the site, just you getting angry at anyone who doesn't agree with you.
Lol with the amount of downvotes OP gets, how would they be able to tell if one person went through and downvotes all their posts?
I tend to respond in a tone I'm addressed with, but I am trying to do better.
try this instead. When someone insults you or says something to make you angry, reply with something sickeningly sweet and loving. Trust me. It's a powerful weapon. kill them with kindness.
Use any of these:
I love you ❤️
You are loved.
Have a blissful day.
More often than not it has the effect of silencing them because it neutralizes their vitriol like pouring water on a fire.
Personally I'm not a fan of this approach because you don't really believe what you're saying to them, it's more just being passive-aggressive/sarcastic.
My preferred approach is to try to understand someone's position and trying to wrap my head around the fundamental disagreement between us. That's assuming of course that I'm in the right headspace; I'm not immune to getting caught up in online toxicity.
it sounds so stupid and the first time I did it I felt a little silly, but doing this really works. anyone who is angry with you (without a good reason at least) has no idea how to respond given genuine kindness in response to an attack. plus it's nice to be a positive voice in the world, and I'm sure many people who are angry on the internet could benefit from being told that they matter and are loved :)
Also, try sending some flowers.

There’s no place like 127.0.0.1
That or mailbombs.
