I think something needs to be done about downvotes. Any hardcore content I post is immediately downvoted. Pretty much all hard content I post gets 5 downvotes. Some recover, some don't.
I think people browse local and most don't seem to like hard content. People here seem to prefer softcore. That's fine, but downvoting is not the response to that.
I think you may have to remove downvotes and people will have to make their own subscription list and browse that. (What I do is browse local and then block the communities that I'm not interested in.)
(I'll copy this to the other thread, but this one seems more active and I want it to be seen.)
