... doesn't that just mean that only non-LemmyNSFW users will be able to downvote?

[-] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 21 points 11 months ago

It also means that you will only see the downvotes from your instance. So I would not be able to see your downvotes, because you are from kbin.social.

If you are on a large instance, like lemmy.world, you'll still see a lot of downvotes.

I'm on Beehaw, which doesn't allow downvotes. If you downvote any of my comments on Beehaw I'll literally never know unless I log in from another instance. Beehaw also won't federate your downvotes to other instances, either, so only other users on the same instance will see them.

It's a pretty great system, imho. Downvotes haven't been useful since Digg collapsed and Rediquette went out the window.

Rediquette went out the window.

Well that's it I'm downvoting this! ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Felt weird typing it, too. It's okay to talk about Rediquette on Lemmy as ancient history from 12 (?) years ago, right?

Downvotes are disabled on Beehaw, and I believe that downvotes from other instances don't federate - i.e. they're only visible on the instance the user downvoted from. If you're on a massive instance and you view a popular community you'll still get "useful" numbers of downvotes but otherwise it'll mostly be upvotes.

I think Lemmy does need a more nuanced downvote system (e.g. you need to select a reason or there's a quota or something), but I'm not sure how it'd work with the wider fediverse.

Edit: I should have scrolled more, two people had already written this comment).

Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.

Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama
