I banned someone from a community I made for breaking a rule and being excessively rude, then they DM'd me and after a report their account got banned and I think that they might've made an alternative account and have been downvoting/disliking all of my posts. What can I do to stop/fix this, is there a way for me to see activity on my community as a moderator? Sorry if this doesn't fit here, I don't really know where else to ask this question. It's a small community so any post I make will get buried when the moment I make the post it gets downvoted.

I haven't ruled out that this could just be coincidence but if I can do something about it I'd rather know.

Edit: Maybe a feature request to consider in the future is allowing the user to see activity on their posts, that way if they do notice a trend they can deal with it personally (ie block the user responsible). It's a feature available on other social platforms and seeing as Lemmy logs that stuff anyways. I dunno it just seems like a nice to have. Food for thought I guess.

Honestly, I’m really tired of this take. Humans are social creatures, it is normal to care about what others think of us and our contributions to the social fabric. Would you stay in a community where you were only ever downvoted because ‘you shouldn’t care about votes’? That sounds psychotic, or trolling. If somebody followed a stranger down the street shouting you suck every minute, would you tell them they shouldn’t be caring about that?
Not to pick on your comment specifically, I see this phrase all over and I know the intent is not to let online stuff affect your real life/determine your happiness. But the phrasing make it sound like people are crazy to care to care at all, when for the majority of human development the opposite is true and you be crazy not to.

Kind of already happens/been happening?

I'm curious where you live that you get followed/shouted at and it wouldn't affect you? I live in one of the top two largest cities in the US, that does happen here, and it's always something to be concerned about.
