This isn’t about drive-bys. This is about users who engage in bad faith. Take a look at OP’s pic again.

That’s not happenstance.

SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 day agoContent from all communities shows up on my feed, like most others’. Confused mods, possibly like you, seem to get angry when the see people regularly downvote content that they seem to be low-quality, even when those people are doing so without regard of the specific community.
If you don’t want to deal with downvotes in a community, you might be better off moving it to an instance that does not support downvotes.

Sure, but I felt that OC’s comment brushed up against a common issue of mods conflating the two.

A bit of selfresponsibility would help both sides tho - if you browse /all, you get /all, so instead of downvoting stuff you are not subscribed to and where you might be missing the context of the community, it would be best for you and the others to just filter the community instead of downvoting every single time.

I ignore stuff that’s simply irrelevant to me; I downvote slop and actual garbage in an attempt to help make everything better for everyone.

That’s not at all what I’m talking about. Random downvotes are a constant, those don’t matter to me. However if you really hit 80% downvotes in my community alone, then to me I’m doing you a favor. You should have just blocked my community, so I’ll do it for you. It is honestly difficult to get that high or a downvote rate.
