Is it a PTB move (!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com) to ban a user if their only activity in a community is downvoting posts?
The behaviour baffles me a bit. If they dislike the majority of the posts in a community, why are they subscribed? Or if they are browsing by /all, why have they not blocked the community? Are they under the mistaken impression that Lemmy has an algorithm which uses downvotes as an indicator for “show me less of this”?
Has anyone else encountered a “serial downvoter” in any of their communities?
Didn’t even notice, thank you for pointing this out
Yep, I was on Reddit until that time, so I was referring to both Reddit and lemmy.
Well, welcome here! As other people said in another comment, due to the size of the platform, downvotes can really hide content on smaller communities, so in general people try to not downvote too much
