    Another point: we 100% need to bring back downvotes if hexbear dot net is going to get people from outside shitting all over themselves. I understand taking out downvotes because it unnecessarily antagonizes people, but outsiders are fair game lmao

      I disagree. Liberals and fash are cowardly little shits that prefer to downvote instead of articulating what they believe in. Forcing them to show their entire ass and get banned is better.

        I think the issue is that downvotes are enabled and disabled at the instance level, not the community level. If they are disabled on our instance, we can't downvote them, but they can downvote us. I might be completely wrong though. A lot has changed over the years. I agree though. I much prefer they be forced to show their ass instead of smugly pulling the "silent majority" thing.

          You mean you haven't created a downvote bot and five accounts?

          spoiler

          I actually do, but it was for downvote-bombing an edgy neo-nazi scat porn spammer who was strangly obsessed with Lemmy, so that their posts weren't highly visible. No idea if it needs an update.

          I would have to think the devs have it covered. I think they can patch our instance to "do nothing" when a downvote comes in. They may have merged that into mainstream Lemmy as an option too idk.

      I'm just gonna go ban crazy on anyone who has a new account and is posting lib shit. Zero tolerance policy.

      Would love to have my posts getting downvoted by 69 libs who came here to post about lolis in anime and upvoted by 12 prior-users here.
