This is a user, not a community. They are downvoting across communities, including stalking people across communities to downvote all of their posts and comments, following communities just to downvote every post and comment, etc.
They downvote over 99% of the posts they see. Why seek out content you don't like? It's mildly infuriating. To me at least.
How you have voted for others
When I was a kid, we had whole educational units on this. Like with a special demonstration clock and worksheets and everything.
How are kids supposed to learn if schools don't teach them?
I've shared several peer reviewed papers that show the opposite.
Science doesn't take anecdotes.
Most food pantries and beds for the homeless in the USA are faith based. Here are the scientific papers that show it.

On other people's stuff
Thanks. Fixed.
Mastodon reminds me when I do that, but I should remember on Lemmy too.
Personally, I agree (we would never do this in a large community for the record). But yes, there are people who think that they can "kill" a small community with downvotes because they don't like the topic.
The sad thing is, it's true. In a community where most posts have under 5 or so votes, one person coming in and systematically downvoting every post will keep people from seeing it who may be interested. If someone doesn't like a topic, they can block the community, but when they take steps to prevent others from seeing it, that's toxic. It's bad for the health of the platform.
Nothing against downvoting in general, but some people are extremely toxic about it. I don't get the point.
Please don't do a witch hunt - it was censored for a reason. Sorry I didn't do it thoroughly enough.
Oh weird
Waking up every day and drinking that Hatorade.
If you don't like anything on the the platform, why stick around?
Not OC
I think it's fair to say not all AI is AI slop.
