Is strictly negative participation in a community healthy for lemmy? (hackertalks.com)

If a niche community has people that persistently downvote every post

is that healthy for the community?
is that healthy for lemmy in general?

Examples that come to mind are political communities, linus tech tips, diet communities, etc. There will be a group of people who will not make comments, posts, but will strictly downvote everything that is in the community.

This is a continuation of a discussion @[email protected] and I started elsewhere, but it deserves it's own space for meta-moderation discussion.

Lemmy needs to allow communities to ignore the votes of non-subscribed users. It should be the default setting that a community owner can override. But it will never happen. So the lemmy ecosystem will remain not very diverse in its user base unless there are multiple clusters of federated instances that are not (widely) federated with the other clusters.

Hopefully Sublinks can get to production and implement this.

That is a great idea, only subscribers can vote, its elegant in its simplicity!

Never heard of sublinks, but I'll do some research.

Don't get your hopes too high, project has more or less stopped due to real life priorities of the devs.

https://piefed.social/ should be more interesting
