Uh, sir! sir! Your inclusive instance policies are unfair! MODS!
I have just upvoted your post
FAQ
What does this mean?
The amount of number on your post has increased by one, and you now have an unfair advantage in the marketplace of ideas.
Why did you do this?
There are several reasons I may deem a post to be worthy of positive number. These include, but are not limited to:
• Rudeness towards libs, • Spreading correct information, • Sarcasm not flagged with a /s.
Am I a mod of c/chapotraphouse now?
No - not yet. But you should keep making posts like this in the future. I will be forced to issue additional upvotes which will give you further advantages.
I can’t believe my post deserved an upvote. This must be a dream.
Not a dream, a spectre. It haunts the libs.
How can I get this to happen again in the future?
Accept the upvote and move on. But learn from this victory: your behavior will be tolerated on hexbear.net. I will continue to issue upvotes until communism wins. Remember: posting is a right, not a privilege.
We have altered the voting scheme. Pray we do not alter it further.
this doesn’t even make sense. they can downvote us and we can’t downvote them. we ratio them anyway.
I’ve never seen downvotes used for anything other than indicating to others who to dogpile on, without it a lot of people simply won’t know which side of an argument they should be on
This isn’t about Hexbear. As far as I know Hexbear federates downvotes but does not have downvotes, which puts us at a vote disadvantage. It’s Beehaw and some others that reject downvotes from other servers. They send a 504 response to the incoming downvote request from the other server.
only if we start getting lurkers that downvote trans shit again. I may still be misunderstanding how they work on hexbear though
