Some people found it right, some people hated it, some people hesitated. At the end of the day, since we are on a disorganised platform like fediverse, I find the decision we took right. However, I was also annoyed by the lack of downvotes. So I searched for a solution.
I think the planned post flair support will be a good improvement in this regard. But it seems to take a long time to develop.
What do you think about limiting downvotes to only members of that community? I see it as the optimal way in the current situation.
Please vote with empathy, not just as a user, but assuming you are a poster user. Is it right decision?
Still a bit on the fence about the whole ordeal.
But i can live with community based downvotes, to mitigate the downvotes from all browsers for OC posters.
I think the arguments, in the last thread, from the nsfw AI communities made alot of sense to me. Downvotes within an already formed community can be beneficial.
And i do miss not being able to downvote comments on other instances tbh.
Im voting pro this new rule, its gonna be a bit of trial and error. So let's just try it for a while and see how it goes.
It apparently is/could be an option to ban users from communities as a mod, that gives me the freedom to curate my audience a bit in my own one. I could post for the entirety of lemmy and eat some downvotes when im feeling up for the exposure or retreat in my safespace/community when i wanna interact with users specificaly subscribed to my content.
