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?

The bots that I have heard of - I think it was called Santa or some such? - all require much more than a single downvote.

I dunno, if someone followed me around and downvoted half the stuff that I ever posted, I might make a bot to block them too. The key there is the severity of the "offense".

    There was at least one guy on here that basically didn't have weights to his script so someone seeing a post for the first time on All had a very high chance of being seen as a "serial downvoter" from a single negative interaction without a single positive interaction to counter it. It was quite funny but I would hope they fixed that by now.

    Hi! I'm the guy.

    It wasn't just a single downvote, but that is a factor be to taken into account, the downvoting account gets examined and if it's only downvoting everything, or is used for strategic voting, or is actually more then a single downvote that establishes a pattern.. they would get removed from the community for being a bad fit

    Oh yeah, the admin of Midwest.Social? That was hilarious. A bunch of communities migrated off of that instance, treating it like Lemmy.ml-lite, and I mostly forgot about it:-D.

    And it looks like the Santabot project died off, or at least the community migrated without warning or something: !santabot@slrpnk.net.
