The admin team doesn't make instance decisions based on what's "popular". It's actually against our mission statement. Though that doesn't mean community input is ignored.
But that being said, admins can see who's voting and we can see that the downvotes are not coming from users with much/any history in this community. So we are not taking their feedback strongly into account.
~~I think she's saying she's upset we don't remove enough content from other communities (federated with us but not originating) on this instance. Which is correct, the admins here generally leave content on other communities alone if they are actively moderated.~~
Ok nevermind she's apparently saying /c/StarTrek and /c/Risa are "spam"?
Thanks, we do too!
The downvotes are all coming from accounts on other instances, which as @ValueSubtracted@startrek.website suggested, makes us think it's most likely people browsing "All" and not appreciating seeing twenty discussion posts (not that that justifies it).
This update should increase the thermal capacity of your takes by .05%
Zeno's moderation: every new community is run half as well as the previous one but it can never reach zero quality.
I am not a big Doctor Who fan but if you can run this community half as well as you run /c/startrek I think it's great!
This has been on our todo list for a while, but turned into a harder nut to crack than I initially assumed. Thanks for the additional info. I'll comment here and make a new post when this gets sorted.
EDIT: It's sorted
