What is the problem with getting down votes ? Visibility? I thought Lemmy supported pinned posts.
I'm not sure I follow. Where do downvotes come in to it?
I misread drowned as downvoted. 🤣
They do. Personally, I think it makes the most sense, in regards to instance news like this, to put a pinned and locked post on the actual platform you're talking about, and then put a discord or matrix or whatever off-site link in the body of the post for those who wish to discuss. That's what a lemmy.zip admin did recently, and I think it worked well.
