In theory this could work on Lemmy as well but since you're on kbin I would definitely recommend utilizing kbin's activity feature which lets you view these downvotes (kbin calls them reduces) and who made them. You should check other people's posts on their profile and see if the same people have been mass downvoting for seemingly no reason. Then you can start blocking these people.
As for the idea of making down votes from the profile page not count, that doesn't really seem like a good idea considering that kbin allows posts exclusively from your profile (and Lemmy might add the same in the future) it would essentially make those posts unable to be voted essentially stifling all profile posts' growth.
I'm pretty sure blocking is only one-way, so I think the blocked people would still be able to see your content and downvote it.
Is it? I thought that it cut off communication from them entirely. I mean if that's the case then it seems a bit pointless to even block people if it doesn't go both ways and they can still interact with you, just without you seeing them.
Eh unless you're a sissy little Snowflake who can't look at things you "don't like", to that I say suck it up this is the internet and people will say things that you don't like.
Yeah this type of blocking isn't really helpful since they can continue to harass you without you seeing it. It doesn't stop or inhibit them from causing trouble, it's just a tool to cater to snowflakes.
