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?

    Maybe the content just sucks.

    If the content on that community sucks, why doesn’t that person block the community?

    I don’t like politics, especially US politics. There is too much of that content on the platform, and it drowns all the other type of content.

    I blocked all those communities and moved on. I don’t downvote all posts on those communities because “it just sucks”.
