when a post doesn't fit the community purpose or is generally inappropriate

Isn't that where you use the report functionality?

I suppose it depends on how bad it is. e.g. if it's a community for "videos", and someone submits one with unmoving text that is basically an audio file, you could downvote it then for not matching.

Some software - like PieFed and some Lemmy apps - have automated features that rely less on human moderator intervention and more community feedback, to either auto-collapse or even auto-hide replies with downvotes below user-set thresholds. You can ofc disable these, but if you want them... they are there for you. Also they are immediate, as opposed to waiting until a mod wakes up and finds time to render a decision on everything reported since the last time they checked in.

I guess that's usually also the basis on which I disagree with someone 😅 most of the time if I'm downvoting someone it's because I think they're being unkind, which I consider being inappropriate

Thanks for sharing your perspective with me :)
