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’m a serial voter (up and down), I have an opinion about practically everything. If anyone as a result gets a lot of down votes, they should perhaps create more content that I like? Just a suggestion.

Have you ever downvoted all of the 10 most recent posts in a community?

By coincidence this could have happened - eg if ten posts were off topic.

I've seen people systemically downvote all on-topic posts on a community.

At that point, they should probably block the community
