Unless a community explicitly has a rule excluding content, and the uploads are valid there, downvoting something just because you’re not into it just seems like entitlement to me. Its the same “reasoning” people use to get gay content outside of Rule34 or other general boards, because they find it “icky” (of course none of these people complain about lesbian content)

Believing that fetishes should be separated in their own corners and downvoted otherwise is an excellent reason to not have downvotes - or to just not post content in this instance anymore

I personally believe downvotes can be of use, but that would require a much, much larger userbase than what Lemmy - as a whole, and also LemmyNSFW - has. Maybe the biggest stances could afford to have downvotes (though from what I’m aware, plenty of them don’t) but in NSFW I could easily see a few people with bad intentions deciding what gets or doesn’t get seen in smaller communities.

The average activity in non-niche communities of NSFW is also much smaller than their Reddit counterparts, plus the fact that - from my experience - there’s quite a few mods missing, inactive for several months to +1 year, and I’m not sure what one would do in case of brigading.

Unfortunately you can’t really stimulate people to comment, which really would’ve been a boon to uploaders

Well, let’s see how it goes, I guess. I’m not a big fan, and lack of downvotes was a good reason to feel more comfortable here.

By posts formatting I meant how vote and downvote can shift a conversation up and down, but on second thought the upvotes by themselves already change that, so it isn’t that big of a change

Still sounds like something that is used more for harm than good, however

Odd choice, I’m pretty sure that the instances that don’t allow it have done it explicitly because that’s a fairly harmful way of engaging with a community - and also generally ruins post formatting

Thank you, and you’re welcome!

Gosto que chegou a época das desenvolvedoras lançarem as bombas que preparam quando estavam na euforia de “”“tecnologia”“” nova, anos depois dela ter ficado (ainda mais) irrelevante. Quase que com vergonha, inclusive, sem fazer alarde nem anúncio. A Square também tem um desses solto por aí, e acho que mais um em desenvolvimento.

Imagino que daqui para alguns anos vai acontecer algo similar com jogos desevolvidos com auxilio de geradores de IA, ainda mais se os motores principais começarem a ficar sem investimento, que parece bem possível pro próximo ano já.

It truly is the shortest month.
