Friend, what is your purpose here? I made a post on my instance on the instance-specific community for these sorts of posts, with the express purpose of encouraging their decision.
Even if I conceded your points, which I don't, what do you hope you'll achieve in trying to convince me I'm wrong in my own house? If you don't like it, don't join instances like these. That's what makes the Fediverse great.
Then what was the point in making this post at all? You wanna talk about how great this idea is. I vehemently disagree. Disagreement is the only negative feedback your instance allows, which you are specifically celebrating. How could this interaction possibly be surprising to you?
Especially when half the argument is - let's say you're completely right. Why not go one step further? Upvotes still create a gradient, driven solely by users, untouchable by mere moderators. You could petition your instance to be better. Admins of major instances routinely seek that kind of feedback.
It is trivially possible to make moderators the sole power in any community.
Why isn't that what you want?
Because I wanted to encourage my admins for a choice I like. Sorry you don't like what my admins do, but that's why I'm here and you're on sh.itjust.works
Sometimes, people just like to be nice. A weird concept, I know, but this isn't Reddit.
I remember private communities being on the roadmap for Lemmy (e.g. limited to the local users)
I guess once we'll have them we'll be able to discuss topics like this among ourselves.
I mean, even if that never comes to pass, this community is called "Reddthat Community and Support."
The core topic is Reddthat's community. If people don't like how we do things, it seems strange to whinge about it here.
But on the bright side, I was able to add a handful of especially tedious people to my blocklist. So not only can I not see their downvotes, but now I can't see them period!
You've been lovely, and I hope you have an amazing week!
Thanks, have a good one too!
“This isn’t Reddit” Look guys. Gotta make sure we know this place that isn’t Reddit isn’t Reddit. lol. And yeah I’d just downvote you. But you prefer this.
In the absence of downvotes, your condescension allows no recourse besides silently weathering the backhanded abuse, or getting shitty comments like this one.
Do not act surprised when you get shitty comments like this one.
