An update on our community regarding downvotes
  • You are conflating allowed with desired.

    I think maybe that's the problem with this entire discussion and people approaching it from two different stand points. Some see up votes and down votes as organic democratic processes to shape the instance, and the federation as a whole.

    Others see them as impediments to their... ego?, popularity?, that's the part I am not getting. Why are posters so intent on posting things in public that people clearly don't want? Keep those images on your own hard drive. Make your own instance and defederate lemmy.world and the like. Make this instance defederated and folks can find a different nsfw instance for more of the western mainstream desired porn stuff.

    But whatever. I'm audi

  • "posters who fully fit the topic of the sub are discouraged from posting because they were downvoted by people outside of the community"

    Ok. I hear that. I guess maybe that proves the community itself should be discouraged? I don't like that sentiment necessarily but... The inability to down vote federated posts means I'm going to bounce to another instance probably. I liked being able to curate my NSFW subscriptions and not risk being defederated from the entire lemmynsfw instance but can just change accounts now and again I suppose.

  • "downvoting posts discourages these posters who are actually passionate/interested in the topic of the community from posting again. Additionally, when posts are downvoted like that it can bury them, preventing them from being viewed by others almost at all."

    Isn't that literally the point of down voting? To discourage posting that doesn't fit the community so that it isn't seen by as many people... ESPECIALLY since the focus on this instance is NSFW then more discouragement of posts that don't fit should be the goal so that users subscribed to those communities surface the appropriate things they want to see. You've removed users' agency to shape their communities and caused waaaaaay more work for moderators.

    This also takes away our ability to down vote posts across the entire federation it appears?!

  • Damn y'all fucking love landlords don't you
  • There aren't any. The ones they linked below have maybe 2 out of 70+ comments defending them. I can't tell if ImplyingImplicatior and ObviouslyNotBananas are dumb as bricks or being sarcastic.

  • US Health Care Strip-Mined for Profit: Primary Care Physicians Becoming Scarce, Poorly Trained Nurse Practitioners Run Wild
  • Nurse Practitioners do diagnosis, especially in Primary Care, just as well as an MD after a couple years of real world practice. The reason those people become NPs instead of MDs is because of the outrageous cost of schooling. We should make being an MD less daunting and make mid levels more respected.

  • My friend on social refuses to see how this is a pyramid scheme
  • I think I'm confused. She's not giving one book to her upline she's sending it to some random. Then the 36 books are from strangers that she hasn't put any work into finding according to the post. That's not a pyramid scheme... If anything the original person who posted the picture is just doing a whole bunch of coordinating and work but your friend isn't. There are either details missing you haven't shared that contradict what this picture says or you are reading this wrong.
