Read the comments in the chains that are beneath it. https://old.reddit.com/comments/13ylk42/comment/jmnp04a [https://old.reddit.com/comments/13ylk42/comment/jmnp04a] My participation will be low here for the time being, but this is something that affects all. Brace yourselves. Additional information that borderline fascistic instances like sopuli.xyz already exist (Finland NATO supporter), and lemmy.one (PrivacyGuides admin) is run by a US/Canada nationalist that defederated Lemmygrad day 1 and calls people here liberals.

repost from lemmygrad.ml

basically lemmy is seeing 1k + users and ALOT are libs, anyone willing to wade into the libereal infested word news posts:

    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.
