Y’know, I think this might be a symptom of a problem in Lemmy more than a problem of people.
I’ve noticed that sometimes the feed gives me a sudden influx with dozens of post for the same community, and so after the 30th post about the same thing it’s pretty easy to go “tired of this, don’t care!”
I know for sure I got banned from some AI slop communities more-or-less that way. So that’s a blessing.
I think it would be reasonable if you did ban prolific repeat offenders personally. Obviously not sending DMs, but they’re clearly not interested - you would be helping them curate their own feeds.
That’s actually exactly what I do. I score each one based on their upvote/downvote ratio and from that I can tell if I should ban them. It’s a very forgiving ratio, I don’t want to discourage down voting, but if you do all or mostly down voting then you aren’t contributing. On top of that I agree, if you don’t like it then you should welcome a ban.

Do users come in and downvote stuff there because its about Taylor Swift?
It’s mostly All browsers who see her and immediately hit the downvote button.
