Really loving the new experiences here on Lemmy.one. But I’m seeing many subs with off-topic posts. Community downvotes will help overworked mods find and remove such posts. I understand no one likes to be downvoted but it’s a necessary tool for our community and only helps users understand and refine what and where they are to be posting their content.
Oh crap. Lemmy.one doesn’t have downvotes - this is bad.
Without downvotes it is not easy to know which comments are controversial. I don’t want to join another tiktok or instagram, I want to join something informative and thus a proxy of the value of the information (while not perfect) is critical.
I thought it was community specific, but looks like I can’t downvote even on other instances.
I need to look for an alternative now.
Yes, you will have to be sure to join an instance aligned with your values on moderation.
Do you happen to know what happens if someone is on an instance that allows downvotes and downvotes a post on a different instance which doesn’t allow them?
I don’t know. I like the lack of a downvote.
If I like it, I up vote.
If I have something to say to support or refute, I comment.
If it needs to be reported, I report it.
Otherwise, I exercise my own right to social media “mokusatsu” and just move on. Almost like it’s not even worth my effort to downvote.
I disagree. Downvoting was often used as a super anonymous way to bully people. I am glad it’s not a feature here and hope that it remains not a thing on Lemmy.one.
I would down vote this post if down vote was possible
please no! This is the reason I chose this instance, and downvotes is something I always hated on Reddit - and occasionally even HN
