"not sure downvotes make sense" -> it might not be a good fit for what the app is -> so maybe it would not make sense to implement.
We're working on this. It's part of Fediscovery. Optional opt-in discovery across instances, if a user wants their content to be discoverable across instances.
Doesn't matter what the devs want. The users requested it, the devs should implement it. Instead Eugene just said "no"
That's a strange take... But even if that logic follows, it's pretty disingenuous to suggest that's what ALL users want, and Eugene is the sole opposition. You and I may want global search, but lots of Mastodon users actively loathe the idea.
Personally I think it'd be a better platform for it, but I get why there are folks who don't like the idea. I also wish they'd implement quoting people, but again, I understand why some folks don't like that idea. Downvotes don't really make sense on microblogging to me.
quote posts are being implemented.
Oh neat!! I thought that idea had been shot down, that's cool to hear
Thanks for letting me know :) Hope you have a lovely day
