Is strictly negative participation in a community healthy for lemmy? (hackertalks.com)

If a niche community has people that persistently downvote every post

  1. is that healthy for the community?
  2. is that healthy for lemmy in general?

Examples that come to mind are political communities, linus tech tips, diet communities, etc. There will be a group of people who will not make comments, posts, but will strictly downvote everything that is in the community.

This is a continuation of a discussion @Blaze@feddit.org and I started elsewhere, but it deserves it's own space for meta-moderation discussion.

Quick question for you: is it possible to see downvotes as a mod (not an admin) using Tesseract?

The feature is avaiable in the backend since 0.19.4 (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4386), but never got implemented in the fronted.

Oh, yep. Totally works. I'll have that available to mods in 1.4.28 (releasing in the next day or two).

Amazing !

It can be. I heard that at some point mods were going to be able to see those for their communities, but I wasn't aware it got implemented.

I'll work on in my dev branch and let you know.

That would be great, thanks!
