For awhile it was single downvotes, but it seems that moved up to 2-3 on each comment. Even the most benign stuff gets hit, the pattern is clear.

Can I find this person and block them from seeing my posts? Never really delved into how lemmy works.

Probably doesn’t matter much because after awhile the forget and leave me alone for a bit.

      There were a few pedo defenders in that thread (see the other user that got fully banned for doubling down over and over again). I tagged the profiles making excuses for pedos which is why I knew who OP was (roughly).

      Just kinda feel like people who try to equate pedophiles as part of the queer community are probably shitty people. And probably have shitty takes… and looks like they have a lot of shitty takes. So much that theyre whining about getting downvoted.

      I mean, Jesus, just look at their modlog… banned for pedo apologia, actual antisemitism, civility, etc etc etc. Pages of mod actions…

      I’ll ask you the same, do you believe people choose their attractions? Be very careful in your answer. If you say yes, then LGBT is a choice.

        I think the point is that she was a child rapist, not necessarily a pedophile.

        Some child rapists rape children because of the power imbalance etc., not necessarily out of physical, sexual, or romantic attraction.

          hmmm, I didn’t know that. I figured it was always sexual attraction brought on by pedophilia… cheers

        Pretty crazy take to voice in a thread about a child-raping teacher…no? Whether a person is sexually attracted to children or not, they should not rape them, and especially not if they are in a profession with in loco parentis legal responsibility?
