With slrpnk.net disabling down voting, can posts in a local community be down voted and seen as such by users from other instances?
Context: I am considering creating a community here and want to know that will handicap features people elsewhere didn’t choose to not have.
I think yes. As far as I can tell disabling down-votes on an instance just hides that feature from users on that instance.
I have been considering to re-enable down-votes here, but I would prefer if down-votes would not federate as community standards really differ and abuse potential of this particular feature is relatively high.
Thanks, that’s good to know.
Is lemmy more aggressive with relaying than microblogging implementations? In my experience favorites/reactions rarely make it to third-party instances (not involving in reacting or being reacted) of the latter.
Couldn’t this be solved by per-community rules?
For me it usually works cross instance 🤷♂️
What I mean is that what people consider worthy of a down-vote differs from instance to instance. You can’t enforce a community rule for down-voting behaviour and some Lemmy instances are known for politically motivated down-vote brigading that does not align with the values I would like to see here on this instance.
Ah right d-; Mobs can also jump in communities they’re not part of just to down vote.
