Sorry if it’s a dumb question. I’m not even knocking or shaming, I just think they’re really funny and want to see more if you know of them. Not accounts that downvote, accounts that ONLY downvote. Rare ones. Like weapons-grade haters.
I’d collect them in my user tags. And like, just observe what they respond to.
It’s been a point of discussion a few times. Sometimes mods have wondered whether it’s worse to kick out one of the small population on their comm or to risk letting someone discourage many others by downvoting them.
I suspect they are people who follow the general trend, which is to take in a post title and then respond on a general impression of whether it makes them feel good or bad, but have some kind of depression that makes only the bad have enough effect to make them downvote. Or they’re trying to attack Lemmy itself in the most childish way possible.
That kind of takes the fun out of watching them and analyzing it
