I have a community, and because it’s generally not really one where controversy comes up, as a mod and creator of the community I do like to check where downvotes on posts are coming from.

I came across this one user where, according to modlogs, they seem to have had a general habit of basically downvoting everything in sight on their feed and unfortunately an otherwise perfectly upvoted post got caught up in the crossfire.

While I don’t think banning them from the community will remove that downvote, I also don’t want someone like this to be able to interact with the community at all, since it manipulates good-faith post voting, and I’d like to prevent unfair downvotes like this one from appearing in the future.

Issue is with the person is that’s all they’ve done. Vote on the post. No comments in the community or anything, so I can’t find any dialogue option to just ban them outright. How would I give this guy the boot?

    If you’re a moderator of a community on Lemmy, you can view the upvotes and downvotes on posts for what I assume to be moderation reasons.

    I don’t think it’s always hidden data and more dependent on the fedi software you use, since I do remember people a while ago getting upset with Kbin and their public upvotes and downvotes.
