Otherwise, what's the point?
edit: A negative threshold - to hide stuff the community has decided is trash.

Yeah that would be a good way to recreate the echo chamber we love in reddit

[–] AMillionMonkeys@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

You can set the threshold to -1000 if you want to see everything. I'm not sure what a good default would be.

So every post should have 0 votes?

Because if you hide posts without votes, none are gonna get shown

[–] AMillionMonkeys@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was thinking it would work like reddit, where you can set a threshold in your preferences and posts below that vote total will be hidden from you. The default was something like -5 iirc.
Every post would still start with your one vote.

Well to answer your question, no that doesn’t exist. But there’s still a point to view posts, just sort by HOT. I never used the feature you described, didnt even know it existed

[–] ndr@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Then, no one would answer here ;p

In some way, this intensive people again to downvote things they don't agree with, that often creates a very toxic setting on Reddit. You see people in some communities swarming the downvote button to hide stuff they don't agree with.

For now, most of the messages that are really bad should just be reported and deleted by the moderators. But I guess it is a lot of work now for the moderators to keep up with the high amount of new posts.

Exactly. Tildes doesn't have user voting at all, and I think it will fail to scale for precisely this reason.

If you make this an option new stuff wont get pushed to the top nearly as much.

[–] AMillionMonkeys@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

This is the way it works on reddit. I should have specified that the threshold is negative unless you change it yourself.

[–] MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I dunno, I personally like going into a newish thread, but options are always nice I guess, couldn't you just sort by hot/top or whatever though?

[–] AMillionMonkeys@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

The sort options stay the same. And I just realized that by 'post' I'm thinking mostly about comments. I used the wrong word and it's confusing people, although I suppose the same idea holds for top-level posts.

Hey, removing this as off-topic. A community like !general@lemmy.world might be better for these types of questions.
