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?

Yeah, that’s what I do as well. Seems much nicer than hurting their community by just randomly downvoting everything I don’t want to see.

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 petty assholes have of trying to kill conversation in small communities because they don’t like something about what you said or how you said it.

If someone neither wants to contribute nor lurk, and merely drag down a community, they shouldn’t be allowed to continue to be a part of it at all.

I’d 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.
