Is it a PTB move to ban a user if their only activity in a community is downvoting posts? (sh.itjust.works)

Is it a PTB move ([email protected]) to ban a user if their only activity in a community is downvoting posts?

The behaviour baffles me a bit. If they dislike the majority of the posts in a community, why are they subscribed? Or if they are browsing by /all, why have they not blocked the community? Are they under the mistaken impression that Lemmy has an algorithm which uses downvotes as an indicator for "show me less of this"?

Has anyone else encountered a "serial downvoter" in any of their communities?

I’m on an instance with 0.19.11 but can’t see it anywhere. Are there any instructions on this?

On a community you mod, three dots menu on a comment "view votes". I tried yesterday, it works.

Thanks, I am embarrassed to have missed it lol. I thought I was bluffing when I said I would ban people over this. [edit] Now I get it - Sopuli was updated today.
