For some reason posts on our instance have recently gotten more downvotes from outside instances than usual and many posts look like this:

I personally don’t like the idea of disabling downvotes but if the feature is mostly going to be used by outside users because crypto is “le bad” we might as well turn it off.

do not desactivate downvote.

Should i vote negatively on this post?, to indicate that i want you to continue active the negative votes? 🤔

Just keep posting these images whenever you feel like it. It will have a chilling effect.

Leave them on. It will be a good indicator of sentiment change once the majority of people realize Monero is their friend and will start to upvote anything Monero related. 😉

Yeah we get down voted by the rest of the federation and downvotes are mostly meaningless. Is there a way to turn off remote votes, not federate votes? Good feedback from our community is good, spam manipulation from outside is just noise.
