If you don’t like it, block the bot?
I’m confused on why people would downvote threads that account for most of the content in this community
Lemmygrad is full of not very nice people. You guys should stay off this evil gay western internet thing.
Daily threads are dumb.
I’d rather not block a bot.
There’s nothing complex going on here. Also, to agree with the other guy, this call out is creepy as hell.
Inferring that info is maybe not as straight-forward as you’re assuming.
As for being called out, it was a dick move in response to a dick move. I’m surprised you guys aren’t more robust in the face of someone disagreeing with you.
Some people downvote because others care about downvotes
It’s a fair question, but it makes me want to ask why downvotes even matter to anyone. They are usually outnumbered by upvotes in the first place, & aren’t even federated across instances (at least on Kbin).
I get that in the community I mod StopDrinking. I post a daily checkin. If you don’t like seeing my post, block the community. Some of us need the post to be accountable to ourselves and each other.
Sorry, fellow mod. This thread is kind of getting out of hand, excuse my judgment but I’m going to be locking it.
Before I do so, I want to make a few things clear…
- Downvoting is what one might call a public function. It falls within one’s supposed right to do so.
- Weaponizing any system to further this, however, is against site rules.
- As far as etiquette goes, it still does speak for one’s character what one sees as likable.
- You are not defined by your critics. I enjoy discussing all of your interesting points of view.
- Since this seems to be such a grand issue, I wonder how many of you have heard of !downvotedtooblivion@lemm.ee
With love from Mod Leni.
