if it become this toxic, you can block the user. I for one welcome the transparency and think that this downvote habit some have is building an unwelcoming environment, far different from what I'm experiencing on the fediverse since years.
so I'm not so ok with it. but to anyone their own opinion.
as for now boosts and upvotes on kbin works like boost and favorite on mastodon. I think that it's good to keep this compatibility.
in my option if we can't take responsibility of our action, be called by our name for them, we shouldn't act. we need to address some privacy aspect tho, regarding external party. but between to users I welcome this transparency.
I'm sorry but we talked about silly things being posted in an other thread, we exchanged our point of view and at the end, you literally downvoted all of my silly intervention in the thread. so you do you but that is exactly this kind of behaviour I'm not looking forward here.
you could also argue that it would be a shame that anyone feels fearful to post because of people downvoting whatever it not pleasing them.
for me downvoting is a strong statement, not to be taken lightly. it can be part of building an very unwelcoming environment and also shaping the discours of users in only one direction.
please let's try to take what's the best of the fediverse here as well, be kind with each other if not excellent.
If I see someone downvoting all my thread or post, I'll block them. Anonymity is not always bringing the best out of people.
but if you interact with me I'd like to know. So where do you draw the line? or maybe I don't understand you correctly.
I don't want to be advocating to less privacy, so feel free to correct me, but just by interacting with each other right now, without using the upvote and downvote system, we are already giving information to potential scrappers no? The solution would be to remove upvote and downvote all together then?
I like how favorite works on mastodon. we could achieve the same on kbin?
I totally agree, but I find it refreshing to make people accountable. Maybe there is a solution to keep it somehow private between users?
I totally agree. We could let this info be private between users.
I really like that we can see the activity. People are using downvote way too easily. Lets make everyone accountable.
edit: hey downvoters, come off your high horse and argue. right now all your saying is "shut up", so for me you are contributing to exclude people to express themself. this is not at all what I'm looking forward in this community.
be nice. don't downvote to make you feel good.
Calckey is a great microblogging app from the fediverse. It’s compatible with activity pub, you can even import your mastodon account.
you shouldn't assume that much about my intention tho. and I rather talk to you and argue that being told to "shut if up", even tho you didn't say it, it's how a downvote feels.
I certainly don't want kbin to be a reddit 2.0. but id like people to feel free to express themself in all matter, not only being serious. We don't have to agree about that, it's ok. But one thing that I really wish would stay on reddit is this downvote culture.
