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???

[–] Serinus 2 points 7 hours ago

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.

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).
