Still a bit on the fence about the whole ordeal. But i can live with community based downvotes, to mitigate the downvotes from all browsers for OC posters.

I think the arguments, in the last thread, from the nsfw AI communities made alot of sense to me. Downvotes within an already formed community can be beneficial.

And i do miss not being able to downvote comments on other instances tbh.

Im voting pro this new rule, its gonna be a bit of trial and error. So let's just try it for a while and see how it goes.

It apparently is/could be an option to ban users from communities as a mod, that gives me the freedom to curate my audience a bit in my own one. I could post for the entirety of lemmy and eat some downvotes when im feeling up for the exposure or retreat in my safespace/community when i wanna interact with users specificaly subscribed to my content.
