Hello everyone!

3 years ago by Blaze to c/community

Hello,

By randomly browsing a discussion on !fediverse@lemmy.world, I just realized I wanted to come back to the real use of downvotes (which was first a user-level moderation about spam, and actually shouldn't exist anymore as we now have the report button).

So I'm back here on Reddthat, happy to use an instance without downvotes!

It's truly the way it should be. If someone is making a bad argument, prove it in the comments. If someone is a turbo-bigot, report them. Drive-by downvoting is lazy commentary.

Also, it's just better for everyone's mental health.

Giving it a try right now, I agree for the moment. Really nice to not see waves of downvotes

You see to have removed your post in !casualconversation@lemmy.world so I'm going to answer here.

The appropriate use of downvotes seems to be a divisive topic. I guess different people can try to use them in different ways, and that instances disabling downvotes will find their niche somehow.

please keep using the report button in such cases.

the report system archives the contents at the time of the report, therefore avoiding data loss when the creator changes/deletes it.
