Updates about lemmynsfw.com
I've just counted 100 communities I had to block to get a semi interesting "local" feed, in addition to 7 posters who were really not my taste. How many hentai/anime communities are really needed for example? So yes, downvoting makes sense as long as there is a local feed, that's how lemmy works.
And yes, I have witnessed a clear improvement since downvotes are back.
Ability to downvote is an important part of these communities, it's a self control mechanism. I surely don't want to block some users just because I don't like some of their posts, downvote should suffice.
Good job, a few saved posts from my saved list have been replaced by blanks. And who can blame the ones who did it? (Many will, considering these did get a bit of abusive words despite doing some good things). This place has become a place to debate and argue rather than have a good jerk. Ha! Just what was needed.
Being a bit of a dick is normal, so it is tolerated, and opinions are given importance, these dickheads are given respect for abusing the very ones who made this place work. What's next now? Enforcing moderation on those who answer back to them? It is the norm in the more corporate forums so I—would—not—be—surprised—at—all. Good job all.
Hehe… who could've seen this coming. The majority of good willing people here couldn't, how surprising🫢 If the world had more silent thinking (which is my style) and less debating (which was how things were before this slight seemingly insignificant change, a change which incited the question of whether each posting itself was right or wrong), these things wouldn't happen… but it is not the place of idiots like me to interrupt the legitimate high-placed people of the world from shooting their own feet so… carry on. It is amusing in itself. I'll start a casual bet (smiles on wager, so the world benefits from it) on just how much everyone among these well intentioned ones choose to ignore the results out of embarrassment. I say the majority will be too embarrassed to even talk about it again, as if it never happened, and try to shut down anyone who references it for being 'incorrect' or 'wrong'😁 Better yet, some will blame and insult the few posters who deleted everything. That will definitely happen.
How ironic is it that for the sake of arguing for good quality posts, you would drive away the posters of some of the best quality posts💀
I'd want it enabled only for people who are subbed to the community in question. That solves practically all issues.
Was tried before. Didn't work.
Maybe it's just me, but after enabled I seem to get much higher quality content on the local page.
Nope. I'm seeing male posters getting downvoted, which sucks. Everyone should be welcome in all communities unless the community states otherwise or a post is off-topic.
Yeah, just filter stuff you don't wanna see. There's a person behind the post you're downvoting
Yes I can clearly see this more about girls.. and Sex Doll stuff aren't a niche here it was worth checking this place out though I wish your site luck Reddit and Internet has become to damn soft in general people are just ridiculous nowadays it's kinda sad 🤷🤦♀️
Yes
I changed my mind. I was pro downvote but I just looked at the new community list, saw one I liked, and then saw that a lot of the posts that fit the theme just fine have been downvoted for no reason. The mod is clearly upset about it also.
So yeah, please turn downvotes back off.
Yes that's how reddit is that's the issue people just downvote a lot for things they don't like hivemind like as well. YouTube is different from this as the videos arent NSFW Sex. That's why the block and report is more useful, also a lot of my posts would technically be negative 6 at the moment and all I do is fuck a sex doll I understand I don't have a vagina and u might not like my content but just block me
I can see a lot of pros and cons, and I don't think we can know what is best without a longer-term trial. There'll be some trolling and harassment that comes with it, which is really bad, but also it allows user filtering of spam and junk posts, which is good. Hopefully there's less of the former and more of the latter.
How do you know that there was no reason behind the downvotes?
True. I mean no discernable reason.
Every downvote on pro-downvote comments should count as a vote for re-enabling. Clearly they're okay with downvotes, at least when it suits them haha
If 10 people downvote 10 pro-downvote comments, your algorithm would count that as 100 votes against downvotes. Didn't think that one through, did ya?
Shoot you found the flaw in my system.
Disable down votes. Its nothing more than a Tool for Trolls.
