Is strictly negative participation in a community healthy for lemmy? (hackertalks.com)

If a niche community has people that persistently downvote every post

is that healthy for the community?
is that healthy for lemmy in general?

Examples that come to mind are political communities, linus tech tips, diet communities, etc. There will be a group of people who will not make comments, posts, but will strictly downvote everything that is in the community.

This is a continuation of a discussion @Blaze@feddit.org and I started elsewhere, but it deserves it's own space for meta-moderation discussion.

It can be. I heard that at some point mods were going to be able to see those for their communities, but I wasn't aware it got implemented.

I'll work on in my dev branch and let you know.

That would be great, thanks!
