Do you want downvotes? (POLL) (lemmynsfw.com)

NSFW 146 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Currently downvotes are enabled on a trial basis, this was done by me to see if they can be enabled to prevent spam from rising to the top of communities, along with the fact that is another form of interaction/feedback.

However I've gotten some pushback for this and so I'd like to see the general consensus of this decision. Please put any comments/concerns in this thread, and please vote here: (Link gone poll is done)

the results of this poll and the comments will determine if we keep or remove downvotes again

I'm for them in theory but I feel like they get abused. Like if someone posts a dick in gonewild. Nothing wrong with that, but most people don't wanna see dicks.

I don't suppose you can leave it up to the sub-lemmy to decide? (Sub lemmy? Wtf are we calling these?)

Nothing wrong with that, but most people don’t wanna see dicks.

I agree that there's nothing wrong with that, but if most people don't want to see it, then... why shouldn't it get downvoted? That's kind of the point, isn't it? Give the people what they want.

Perhaps dicks belong in a more niche sub where people actually do want to see that?

They get downvotes in the niche subs too because everyone browses Lemmy by All due to lack of content.

ok, well that just sucks.

*Edit: I feel like my wording was unclear and could be interpreted as "sucks for them, but oh well". I meant it more in a genuine "oh damn, that's really shitty" kind of way.

As a moderator of some of those subs I can confirm.
