There are entire communities full of bad faith actors, spammers, and echo-chamber-enforcing mods. We as individual users downvote them with 0 effect. We can block and hide users/communities/instances but that does nothing for the community as a whole. Ignoring them and "not feeding the trolls" is simply not making them go away. Just try blocking UniversalMonk, we all know they have dozens of accounts with hundreds of downvotes across every comment and post and yet they keep going. Or any of the conservative communities who's total post score is in the red.

I've blocked so much garbage that my feed doesn't change very often. I barely check Lemmy once a day now. This does not make for a healthy online community.

Many of us came from reddit where there are many valid complaints for how they run things but one thing I'd like to see return is downvotes slowing down how often a user can post, comment, and vote in a community. If a single user's score drops too low within an instance or community, that user should be rate limited or maybe even auto-banned or maybe an entire third option I can't think of. But right now it's not even a slap on the wrist.

 

Anybody heard of this before?

There no helping them now. They were already elected president...

They don't care about documents. Real or fake.

"Today, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided a local establishment in the City of Newark, detaining undocumented residents as well as citizens, without producing a warrant. One of the detainees is a U.S. military veteran who suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned,"

Kaboom's account is from reddthat where they disabled down votes. I don't think they have any clue how rejected their opinions are. Talk about snowflake.

If you block Amoxtli then about 90% of conservative posts go away.

I'm autistic too. I've fucked up socially A LOT but never in a "whoops, I just Nazi saluted" kind of way.

I feel like the only person who did not like the sailing in Assassin's Creed. It was fine for a bit, but it's not why I play the series.

I hope they carried sunflower seeds in their pockets

Dead-CEO insurance costs me + my company hundreds less than the competition BUT my part of prescriptions costs 4x what it used to. The new CEO should be shot too.
