Seems like the downvote debate got another round on https://lemmy.zip/post/47242086/21088009 , so this could be useful

That's not the same thing though. That's about local vs remote users. But the OP's post about PieFed's feature is for people subscribed (following) to the community vs not subscribed.

ops idea is flawed if the purpose to prevent brigading. shrug

[–] Blaze@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The objective is not to prevent organized brigading, but non community members downvoting from All

I leave it to you to figure out how what I said applies to what you said.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Generally I limit to subs but browse All occasionally to find new communities. Part of this process is upvoting and down voting stuff and seeing which communities has more stuff I want and less stuff I thought was worth downvoting. I then sub or block after that point.

That is how I notice spammed slop as part of blocking a community. No, I won’t be going back to remove down votes before blocking just because the community is about spamming slop and the posts fit the sub. Harm isn’t a down voting requirement.

This is the behavior that can be avoided.

thats nice. as i said i leave you to figure out how the two are the same when it comes to community management.

feel free to continue beating your drum that they're different, wont change why you likely wont see your idea implemented. good luck!

[–] Blaze@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

The idea is already implemented in Piefed

[–] jatone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm aware. that's their prerogative as developers of their codebase. I never said you couldn't do it. I said they're the same feature essentially.

I was simply pointing out to the other individual that lemmy didnt actually reject the functionality out of hand as they claimed.

what are you trying to achieve here by insisting your point of view here as if i care?

I said they’re the same feature essentially.

That just brings up back to this comment: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/52083259/21043578

Yeah, let's stop here
