I'm not saying I doubt this, but I would like to know what data points you used to get to that conclusion. What platforms do you have access to where you can see how users downvoted in order for you to have concluded there's a correlation between serial downvoting and toxicity?
I just realized...you're on kbin.social, which already publicly exposes which users downvoted something. Traditional lemmy instances don't expose that info, so it didn't make sense to me that it'd be possible to relate toxicity to downvoting. Kbin does it differently.
