Anyone else had problems with downvoting bots? (sh.itjust.works)

Earlier today I made a comment that someone must have found controversial, because I noticed that all of my posts and most of my comments made in the last month have received about a dozen downvotes each, all happening today. Has anyone experienced anything similar and is there anything that can be done to combat that sort of thing from happening? I think that reddit used to only shadow downvote when voting from a user's profile. I'm assuming Lemmy isn't that advanced yet.

Thank you for taking the time to explain. I hope we see a solution to these things.

In my laptop I use voyager and opted for the option to hide votes. Though that solution is just for me, lemmy will still see the votes and relegate and rank my comments accordingly. If someone mas downvotes me then my comment or posts will still be buried.
