I almost think we should bring back down voting now that we're federated. We keep bumping posts we disagree with by constantly "dunking" on them. This ensures that the most hostile hexbear content is constantly on other instances front page. Libs will still complain about brigading but it won't be in their face anymore.
Nah downvotes are awful. They make discussions worse, fewer people will turn to explaining themselves through comments, and they can facilitate targeted trolling while staying hidden (I think this was actually why we got rid of them the first time). Also it's really funny being able to point out that we don't even have downvotes when we're accused of brigading or whatever elsewhere in the fediverse
At the same time I dont think just sending PPB/posthog is particularly more constructive than a dozen down votes. I do still want to encourage actual responses.
Oh yeah, totally. Some people are way too loose with the ppbs out there
