Does Lemmy have any moderation tools for dealing with users that always vote down posts because they disagree with a community?
For want of a hypothetical example, say someone created a community dedicated to pineapple on pizza. What’s to stop people who strongly disagree with pineapple on pizza to subscribing, and voting down every post?
It is only a partial solution imo, I had downvoted disabled on vegan theory club but people would still downvote the posts and it would federate to all the other servers except mine and I couldn’t moderate it. We were targeted by shut ins and the threads looked bad on other instances and I couldn’t see or ban the users lol. I guess rejecting federated votes would help but then there would be no federated upvotes either.
You could make the community local only, but that would very much limit its reach.
I split them out into 4 options: post, comment, upvote and downvotes
