Really loving the new experiences here on Lemmy.one. But I’m seeing many subs with off-topic posts. Community downvotes will help overworked mods find and remove such posts. I understand no one likes to be downvoted but it’s a necessary tool for our community and only helps users understand and refine what and where they are to be posting their content.

Yes, you will have to be sure to join an instance aligned with your values on moderation.

I think not having that will turn this into a tiktok or instagram.

I'm now trying out lemm.ee which has downvotes, and so far looks good.

[-] jonah@lemmy.one 11 points 1 year ago

I disagree, but it sounds like lemm.ee will be a better fit for you, and that's the beauty of the fediverse 👍

[-] bankimu@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah!

The thing is others can downvote you from other instances. Just you can't.

I don't know if lemm.ee takes the downvotes into account for the score, or ignores them. But from other instances you can downvote the same post or comment.

-1 in terms of a comment score? If you can't downvote, yes, the score is never going to be negative.

That's the beauty of federation: you can choose any of the 90% (or higher) of Lemmy instances that allow downvoting, instead of one of the few that doesn't :)

Do you happen to know what happens if someone is on an instance that allows downvotes and downvotes a post on a different instance which doesn't allow them?

[-] jonah@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago

The downvote isn't federated.
