Casual reminder that Piefed allows to limit downvotes to people subscribed to a community (lemmy.zip)

Seems like the downvote debate got another round on https://lemmy.zip/post/47242086/21088009 , so this could be useful

I like this idea. Makes the thought of creating a community for niche, boring topics more appealing.

Yeah sometimes a post from like !fishing hits the all feed and then some user decides they don't like fishing or it's boring and they downvote the post lol.

That's not what downvotes are supposed to be for, they should just block the entire community instead of trying to downvote every post from it.

Also it makes no sense to downvote for their own personal feelings because they already saw the post, the votes are for other people to benefit from.
