I am aware of the correct spelling, it was a mistake

I’ve made a post to detemine what the majority of the instance wants, please do read it and vote in the poll https://lemmynsfw.com/post/18057762

Would there be a compromise that would make you happy? Like rate limiting downvotes or something like that so that there’s some protection against mass downvotes? I am open to all feedback.

I don’t think you can equate downvotes coming back to one rude comment, as I’ve said before please report any rude comments, they will be removed.

I sympathize with the satisfaction of seeing a post doing well and that being affected by downvotes, and I will keep what you’ve said in mind. I think the benefit of pushing spam down will be greater than the effect it has on real posters, but that has yet to be seen, like I said this is a trial run. If you do keep posting please do report any apparent downvote brigading and I will definitely re-visit the issue.

I’ll keep in mine the criticism, and please do report any apparent harassment of downvotes

Ok, but not all your posts will get downvotes like that.

Why is that?

I enabled it to see if the brigading of down votes had stopped, and because off topic posts have been made to communities but were making it higher up in communities because down votes were not enabled, but that is only really a side reason.

I think downvotes have their place in forums like reddit and lemmy, when not abused. If I see reports of abuse again, they’ll be disabled.
