If a niche community has people that persistently downvote every post
- is that healthy for the community?
- is that healthy for lemmy in general?
Examples that come to mind are political communities, linus tech tips, diet communities, etc. There will be a group of people who will not make comments, posts, but will strictly downvote everything that is in the community.
This is a continuation of a discussion @Blaze@feddit.org and I started elsewhere, but it deserves it’s own space for meta-moderation discussion.
Because someone downvoting 20 posts out of twenty in a community where all of that posts are relevant and without any comment or upvote on the community ever doesn’t bring any value to the community.
They can always contact me via DMs on the mod account, we can discuss.
