If a niche community has people that persistently downvote every post
- is that healthy for the community?
- is that healthy for lemmy in general?
Examples that come to mind are political communities, linus tech tips, diet communities, etc. There will be a group of people who will not make comments, posts, but will strictly downvote everything that is in the community.
This is a continuation of a discussion @[email protected] and I started elsewhere, but it deserves it’s own space for meta-moderation discussion.
That feature requires API 0.19.4 or higher. I’m still running 0.19.3
hackertalks is on 0.19.8, so if you log into that account from tesseract.dubvee.org, you should see that feature enabled.
Yeah, nix is horrible to setup, but once its going its like a bulldozer, keeps me current lol.
Thanks for the hard work, this is a great feature.
Really awesome.
FYI, I was able to ban a systematic downvoter from [email protected]
That’s the same person who downvotes everything in [email protected]
They are consistent, heh
I reported them on the Lemmy general moderation chat, maybe they will get banned, we’ll see
Why would you do that ?
Because someone downvoting 20 posts out of twenty in a community where all of that posts are relevant and without any comment or upvote on the community ever doesn’t bring any value to the community.
They can always contact me via DMs on the mod account, we can discuss.
Amazing!
