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?
Oh, yeah no way would I be mad if someone felt the need to just ban and be done. I’ve been on the receiving end of zero communication bans a few times tbh, and hold no grudges about it. Sometimes a mod just has to handle business and move on, leaving it on us users to put in the effort to appeal. That’s a valid choice imo.
