We Need Downvotes on Lemmy.one (lemmy.one)

Really loving the new experiences here on Lemmy.one. But I’m seeing many subs with off-topic posts. Community downvotes will help overworked mods find and remove such posts. I understand no one likes to be downvoted but it’s a necessary tool for our community and only helps users understand and refine what and where they are to be posting their content.

you can, but it won't have effect on lemmy.one, because it's going to discard downvotes

So a top post on lemmy.one could be a controversial post on other instances?

Sounds like a good reason to block an i stance if it has the predictable results.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes exactly. I think each instance calculates separately the score and which posts appear in hot/etc.

I kinda get it, but why would a post be controversial and at the same time not a reason enough to either report or block the user that posted it?
