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?

In Hexbear we don't have down votes, so you have to engage with someone to express disapproval
Instead of downvotes, we have many, many disapproving emotes.
Fun fact 90% of piefed users can't see your comment because the code comes with baked in blocking of hexbear and Lemmygrad lmao. If they can't handle down votes they could never handle getting dunked on by us.

The removed comment for context
90% of Piefed users don't federate with hexbear, but that's because 90% of the Piefed instances are managed by teams who do not federate with hexbear on their Lemmy instances as well
List of Piefed instances that currently defederate hexbear:
https://piefed.fediverse.observer/list
As you can see, instances defederating hexbear are instances managed by teams which were going to do so anyway, as they already did on Lemmy. I'm still waiting for an example of an instance that defederated hexbear "by mistake".
Instances who want to federate know how to do so, as we've seen above.
Setting up an instance isn't trivial, assuming that admins would revise the defederation list doesn't seem realistic.

There are still a few instances that federate with hexbear, showing that the 'baked in block' is just a configuration change:
The removal reason:
It has been restored?
