Recently, many of our anti-Zionists posts have been downvoted to oblivion by liberals. As hexberians realized a while back, downvotes only help liberals since they are more numerous and they don’t need to engage in discourse. I am proposing to just get rid of downvotes and instead engage in discourse on content that we disagree on.
Federated users still downvote, you just can’t see it
Doesn’t matter it won’t effect where it is in the queue
It does in federated instances
Sure but it is better for local site culture
I don’t agree.
I don’t agree
Would you take it kindly if I visited Hexbear to advocate for downvotes to be reinstated?
I don’t care what you think, I care what’s better for the trans community so they don’t get harassed. You can get bent for all I care
I was trying to politely lead to the conclusion that this isn’t your instance to advocate for change in.
You’re insinuating that I’ve advocated for harm to the trans community. I have not.
You haven’t shown that removing downvotes is useful for the topic at hand, which is federated downvotes.
I don’t want to repeat the culture of hexbear, but I’m very happy it’s there for the people who do.
Of all the people who are sure they are right about this issue for everyone in the fediverse, you are the surest.
