Personally I factor this in with bans on my communities. I very rarely ban, but I do if I notice people like this, who I dub "downvote trolls". They don't participate (or when they do it's negatively), the just downvote constantly.

Now I'm fine with downvotes, I downvote, I think it's healthy to say "I don't like this content". However if all you do is downvote (especially in a specific community) then I view a ban as a win win. We don't have to deal with your negativity and obviously you don't enjoy being here anyway from your voting patterns, so everyone wins.

For my communities I have a pretty healthy ratio. If you downvote 80% of the content, you're on my radar. I won't ban you on that data alone, but seriously 4 out of 5 votes on the community are on average down then why are you there?

f***g@lemmy.zip

I have no idea who that is - your alt?

Downvoting is valid. You saying it equals hate says more about you than about the downvoters.

edit: hm, apparently this is about the user doing the downvoting, not being downvoted? Still, this is badly anonymized, and that's my main point.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Nothing against downvoting in general, but some people are extremely toxic about it. I don't get the point.

Please don't do a witch hunt - it was censored for a reason. Sorry I didn't do it thoroughly enough.

I'm not. But if this post should evolve into one, that's on you. Do the sensible thing and remove it.

[–] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 11 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

My instance of choice decided to unilaterally and without any warning whatsoever disable downvotes. Just to "try it out".

I'm still pissed about it to this day.

I mean that google removes any kind of downvotes is one stupid thing, but that people think this makes content "better" is crazy to me.

Now I do understand that in small communities the weight of a super negative account can be quite an issue.. But is removing completely any negative feedback the solution ? Really, it's all we got ?

Also the simple fact that a lot of this community is from Reddit, IMO it's not okay to disable a feature like that without even voting on it.

So if you think disabling negative feedback fixes an issue, you have the burden to prove or at least explain the reasoning.

I do think it didn't make YouTube any less of a cesspool to disable downvotes on it...

Edit : Also while votes are not supposed to replace moderation, they certainly help limiting the reach of spammers. Like if the mods are asleep at least the community can bury the post in the meantime. But no, they just disabled downvotes and made a post about the change the same day. Wtf.

i concur (approved your p.of.view)
I like Lemmy(*)s, and like to ↑ good stuff and to ↓ at very bad stuff. Yes, of course, there is so much of both in here. And since we have many communities, it is possible for opposite points of view to float upward. Until we have a better system, let's use what we have.

Post contains inaccessible image of nearly pure text. 😞Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:

  • usability
    • we can't quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
    • text search is unavailable
    • the system can't
      • reflow text to varied screen sizes
      • vary presentation (size, contrast)
      • vary modality (audio, braille)
  • accessibility
    • lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
    • some users can't read the image due to lack of alt text (markdown image description)
    • users can't adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
    • systems can't read the text to them or send it to braille devices
  • web connectivity
    • we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
    • we can't explore wider context of the original message
  • authenticity: we don't know the image hasn't been tampered
  • searchability: the "text" isn't indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
  • fault tolerance: no text fallback if
    • image breaks
    • image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.

Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.

Haters like to hate. Not much sense to rustle one's jimmies over it.

Damned site doesn't work on my account.

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 1 points 18 minutes ago

If only the OP linked the site instead of a picture

It appears to only partially work on Mbin. It got my upvotes but not my downvotes

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

You have to select "user" and enter the format exactly as shown. There are some servers that don't work though. Yours should.

[–] A_A@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I was thinking about making a "People like this" post about sloppy redaction and using the same screenshot.
