Well, just add a 'disagree' button so there's no confusion.
That's just the Uber disagree button now.
Apparently it's the button you press to get banned from a community.
ASK ME HOW I KNOW
How I know?
So stuupid 😆
A lot of those are joke downvotes, well mine was.
I downvote anyone complaining about downvote out of principle.
I'll also down vote anyone using up votes as some kind of metric for their post/comment being inherently right/good
Mine wasn't.
Communities trying to have alternate meanings for upvotes/downvotes must keep in mind that people scrolling posts across communities won't generally notice the community and if they do they won't read the rules and will vote however they want. Trying to force them to follow some silly community specific process is tilting at windmills and bitching about it is embarrassing.
Fr like if you don't like the way people are using the downvote feature why make a post whinging about it and not just make your account on an instance that has it disabled???
Because it has a legit use. It's just also used to create an echo chamber.
If you believe that people can be just a little responsible, it's better to have it around.
aren't they the instance admin themselves?
Even funnier tbh
Indeed, and this is a pinned post on Ye Power Trippin' Bastards. Posters ask if their bans were justified. Downvotes bury the post, preventing an audience from making their opinion about it.
Sadly one can't disable downvotes per community
Yeah if the problem is specific to a community I see how the software's limitations could be an issue. I'm still unsure of what you were hoping to achieve with the post though.
Idk, it can be kinda exhausting but I guess I kinda just operate on the assumption that strangers online are gonna act like a bunch of insufferable contrarians (I'm not always above that sort of thing myself).
I disagree
I couldn't even post an album there because the instance apparently sees external imgur albums as image spam or something stupid.
That's not true. What kind of error are you getting?
It is true, you can literally check for yourself. And there is no error. I didn't even see it as removed from my side on mbin, like with a mod removal, and thought it wasn't federating as there was neither upvotes, nor downvotes, nor comments, until I checked the modlog on your instance.
