This is already a thing that happens currently. Some admins/moderators don't like being downvoted and ban people for "vote manipulation" because they vote on things in their feed.
It is leading to exactly that, where people are worried that using the voting system as intended will lead to exclusion from participation in some communities.
I've personally been banned from one community for downvoting too consistently.
