Right now, downvotes (reduces) don’t federate to (and from?) Kbin instances. This lack of federation makes the downvote counter really inaccurate—a comment that looks like it’s +10 might be -15 when you look at it from lemmy.world.
This leaves me with a few questions:
- Is downvote federation going to be implemented?
- If so, is it a priority or something that’ll happen much further down the line?
- If not, will downvoting be removed?
@CoffeeAddict yeah it’s made me very responsible about downvoting.
It has also made me more inclined to discuss things because now I don’t just lazily “downvote to disagree” and move on.
Also, when someone weird starts following me around and downvoting all my posts, I can see who it is so it doesn’t bother me.
It’s way better than sitting there thinking “what did I do wrong”.
