No downvotes. People use it as a "this isn't my fetish" button and everything even slightly niche gets sent to oblivion. Especially bad for gonewild posts where people's self image gets involved.
Also using a Google doc for this poll seems like a bad idea since people who aren't from this instance can vote
You are using "some people misuse a thing" as a rationale to get rid of the thing.
If someone posts fetish x on a vanilla community, they should get downvoted. If they post that same thing in a community about fetish x, then the community can simply be blocked by those so inclined.
by that same logic a use that sees content they don't like on a community they do can block that user.
is there a problem with content being posted that doesn't match communities right now? i haven't noticed one. the biggest problem on this platform right now is lack of content. downvotes, or any tool for creating explicit negative social interaction or feedback can make a community more hostile and less inviting. right now i generally see almost no posts on any nsfw communities that should get downvotes that don't just get taken care of by a moderator. right now we need to draw people in to posting content way way more than we need better tools to organize it.
Exactly this. We don't have enough content to give users the tools to discourage posting.
