Is this the typical behaviour of fediverse users? Posts in Apple and Nintendo communities immediately get downvoted by people disliking the companies. Can’t they just block the communities? (media.piefed.social)

How ironic that meaningless scores are seen as an offence

downvote trolls can be a problem for small communities trying to build up. I managed to discover the serial downvoters on my old lemm.ee comm and when I banned them (about 4 of them?) it had a huge impact. They didn’t all downvote /everything/ but they downvoted a lot of things, and no contribution. And if they got in early, they could sink new threads. Now, I wouldn't just ban randoms for occasional downvotes - but if I kept seeing the same names on threads (and they never actually engaged with the community) with no discernable patterns - I might.

Made a huge difference.

I guess it sucks to have a target audience who doesn't sort by new, skill issue.

Or I could just ban repeat downvoters lol

(Have only done this twice since making the transition)

Do you take their overall up/down ratio into account?

No. I will note though that half of the people I banned for downvoting on the old lemm.ee instance didn't even have a comment history. Their accounts only existed to downvote. Others had been banned repeatedly by other communities for mass community downvoting. But even if they did, I would've still banned them. They were constantly downvoting new posts posted to the community and had no engagement with the community in comments or posts. How they may have behaved outside of it wouldn't have come into it for me.
