Downvotes should be reserved for things like spam, links that lead to malware, posts that are off-topic, etc. Things that mods would normally remove.

My problem with downvotes is that people are using downvotes to downvote that things they don't like.

I have observed people heavily downvoting the following things:

• SPH
• Humiliation
• Cocks/gay
• Cuckold content
• Male gonewild posters
• Celebs
• OC posters that are not a perfect 10/10
• Niche fetishes

This leads to

1. People not wanting to post things
2. People who do like those things not discovering those things in hot/top
3. Less activity on the site overall because of decreased morale of posters especially OC posters

This is why I am in favor of disallowing downvotes.

Having upvotes is enough to determine which is "good" or "great" or even "bad" content in a community. Because the upvote count relative to other posts in the community tells how it was perceived by the community.

Having a more "targeted" home page may help people find things that they like instead of an endless stream of a big jumble of random content.

Reddit doesn't have this problem because no one browses the entirety of NSFW content by new instead there is an "all" but even that had NSFW content removed from it. So really people are browsing only by the things they have subscribed to meaning if someone were to downvote a post they don't like they would have to go out of their way to see it.

What have you contributed to build the community here?

That's why we need a way to organize communities into different genres like softcore, hardcore, celeb, anime, etc.

And people can pick what their default feed has

Maybe in theory but that's not how they get used

All my posts in the Any Schumer get down voted despite it being on topic

and caused waaaaaay more work for moderators.

Hard disagree as a moderator of a bunch communities

This is a great decision and I applaud the admins for listening to feedback.

Nothing worse than having your posts down voted especially by people who are submitting no posts of their own.

I feel this too

Very discouraging

I understand not everyone likes niche celebrity posts or certain people but constant down votes makes me want to not post anything at all

Would be best to disable them imo

The daily active user count is going down from like ~220 to like ~110 people, people constantly down voting posts isn't going to help this community grow

Thanks for all the work you guys put into this place!

One of the worst things when it comes to porn is videos or pictures being deleted. Especially frustrating to browse old forums and none of the download links work or none of the images show. Or when pornhub deleted nearly 80% of their videos. There are videos out there which I am still looking for. Probably will never find again. Partly the reason I am a hoarder.

They probably aren't subscribed but see the posts in the "local" and don't know how the block button works

I'm personally holding out for sync for lemmy: https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy

What's the issue with scat porn?

Is it illegal or something?

If it's not illegal then on what grounds is it being banned?
