Note on certain posts/comments being targeted with mass downvotes in this sub

Both of our posts about Bryan Freedman were mass downvoted from 20+ upvotes to 0 within the span of 10 minutes last night, as u/asleep_reputation_85 and I watched. The post in the first slide was reported twice for harassment a few minutes before the mass downvotes began. Comments linking the article about the SA allegations against Bryan Freedman have also been mass downvoted. None of our other posts or comments were affected. Very strange as we have much more controversial posts on this sub than these ones.

I just want to give everyone a heads up that certain posts/comments are being targeted. We want to make this a safe place for folks to post/comment and discuss these concerns, so we really apologize that this BS is happening here. We have reported these issues to Reddit but unfortunately there isn’t much else we can do. If anyone has any suggestions on how to combat this, we’d love to hear. Otherwise we’re waiting to hopefully hear back from Reddit admins about these issues 🤦🏻‍♀️

Also, the article about these allegations will be posted and pinned in the comments. Thanks to u/nebula4364 for finding a link to access the article without a paywall.
