Names blurred to protect the innocent / crazy. Not trying to call anyone out, just thought the response was hilarious and highly disproportionate. Like, they distinguished that comment (green border/background).

For reference, the comment I presume that was downvoted that apparently triggered that response was to the tune of “BoTH SiDEz!!!” with some hyper generalizing / stereotyping on the side.

    Talk about reddit brained. Why do downvotes matter to so many people? There is no karma count except for individual comments. You don’t know what someone downvotes for so why get worked up over it?

      If you don’t like downvotes (like me!) join an instance with disabled downvotes. Simple solution. I don’t know why OOP hasn’t disabled downvotes on their instance.

      If someone indicates they dislike a narcissist’s content it shatters their ego.

        The instance can also disable downvotes. It won’t block a remote instance from downvoting, but those downvotes won’t be federated and will only be seen for users of the instance where the downvote happened.

        Now that is an interesting idea. A timeline that ranks only by local votes

          Yeah, with that, you’d be able to control who can vote on the posts your users see. Very useful for a totalitarian admin.
