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.
Lemmy NSFW
Updates about lemmynsfw.com
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 π€·π€¦ββοΈ
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?
I was for disabling down votes the last goaround wrt this topic, and I'm of the same opinion.
LemmyNSFW hasn't grown much more in the past year and this will just drive away more posters (of which there aren't much left) imho
Additional - I'd prefer that others block me (so they don't have to see what I post) or block/don't subscribe to various communities I mod that they don't want to see as part of their feed, rather than have them downvote individual top level posts.
Enabling downvotes wrt comments, I'm okay with...
Yes
I feel that downvotes serve an important purpose both in keeping out spam, but also in preserving the many-niches architecture common in porn. Without downvotes even more work will be put onto mods in order to make sure the content posted is relevant to the communities its being posted too. Take c/Hotwife which has recently had a few postings that have 0 to do with hotwifing. Allowing downvotes is an imperfect solution, but I think an important one.
What about people getting pissed over something (presumably, it's hard to tell) and then going after people's posts in other communities and rampage-downvoting everything?
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.
I think a lot of responses were correlating downvotes with censorship which is something I can agree with. I personally don't want to see someone's dick in gonewild but I know it's for someone. Maybe we can have a tagging system that user can filter what they don't want to see. But I don't care if downvotes comes back or stays away because I'll just block the accounts that shows things I don't want to see.
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 donβt 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?
Iβm going to post a solo on gone wild .. π letβs experiment lol
