Is it a PTB move ([email protected]) 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?
I’d say just ban them. Doesn’t look like a healthy relationship for either side. Worst thing that can happen is they complain and you get to know the reason for their behaviour… And if they’re under the impression it will get rid of the posts, banning them will accomplish that, so win-win.
