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.

I have an idea about downvoting, and it seems like this would be the place to float it. What if when you downvoted something you had to fill out a box with the reason? I know that you can't hold people to this, but the thought here is to make downvoting more of a conscious decision than just click and move on.
