It’s not about blocking, it’s about sending a message.

I mod a small community with like 6 monthly users, I’m the only one who post or comment and the average post have 3/4 upvotes and 1 downvote. And I always ask myself who is downvoting my submissions, because it’s make no sense to me that someone take the job of pressing the downvote button on a link to a EDM set. Couldn’t they just block the community?

No, sometimes it is about blocking.
If you run a small community like several of us do, even a small amount of downvotes can completely shut down a discussion from ever being seen by anyone else. It’s a way of shutting down conversation.
If someone neither wants to contribute nor lurk, and merely drag down a community, they shouldn’t be part of it.

Some people just downvote for the sake of it.

Use tesseract.dubvee.org/home/all/scaled to show downvotes
Assess whether banning makes sense for someone who only downvotes content

How exactly can I see who downvoted? Can’t seem to find it in the regular view, and the debug info only shows the vote count, not the voter.

I also like to know as I’m in the same boat you are. I’m just leaving this comment to remember to look later and see if you got an answer.

I’ve gone to my community and to specific posts, but can’t work out how to show downvotes. Can you shed a little light on how to see them please?
