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?

Yes we do. Community mods and instance admins can view votes on any comment or post to try to cut down on this. Downvote spammers are currently one of the biggest problems on the fediverse.

Anyone can see who votes on what.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago (1 child)

No they can't, only admins or mods.

We block that spying tool, so it doesn't work on lemmy.ml . See here.

"Publicly listing at the public info that is transmitted on public channels, which is not encrypted and fully viewable with other fediverse platforms is spyware" holy shit .ml is pathetic.
