    Hey mods, seeing actual articles constantly downvoted because people don’t like the news is getting really fucking old. Is it possible to start handing out some time outs or maybe just make a meta post?

      I can’t speak to what the ADMINs can see, because I’m not an admin, but as a mod, we can’t see the source of up and down votes any more than anyone else.

      We have the queue of reported posts and comments, and removal and ban tools, and that’s pretty much it.

      But what you’re complaining about is largely the hivemind at work.

        My understanding is that if users are banned from a community they can’t interact with posts/comments in that community. Am I incorrect?

            I am not familiar with the underlying infrastructure and what data is visible for who but there is a record on a per user basis of who has voted for what to prevent repeated voting. Is that information not available to mods?

              It’s available to admins at least and I believe Kbin has it on by default for everyone so it should be publically available if someone wanted to find it. That said I don’t think anyone is interested in that level of micromanagement unless its something like mass downvote accounts.

      I for one feel it’s crazy they don’t ban everyone who feels differently about things then you do.

        My bro! You truly understand!

        Nah, I like having a discussion. I’m just concerned that every article pointing out Biden’s flaws is losing out on visibility and discussion with those folks that aren’t crazy like us and don’t sort by New.

          Don’t worry, you have return2ozma, givesomefucks and all the other tankie-types constantly reminding everyone.

            Thank you for at least not declaring me a tankie. There are times when I’m on the same side of the argument as both of them and there are times I vehemently disagree with them.

              I don’t think the other two are tankies, I was mostly referring to the gang with commie or something adjacent to that in their names.

      Thry may have just been down voting my sarcastic commentary on it, given that Lemmy essentially allows the text field to be the top comment
