Thanks to the admins for not enabling downvoting (reddthat.com)

Far too often, lately, I see lots of people worried about the number of downvotes, or making preliminary justifications and requests to not downvote particular posts.

Me? I don't have to think about any of that. The content of the posts and comments determines their quality, not some artificial number that only represents whether people dis/like something.

Edit: Wow, a lot of people from other instances seem really offended that I don't like downvoting and seem a bit confused that I'd be thanking my admins for something I appreciate.

If you like downvoting, you don't have to move here. Enjoy your instance's features. Welcome to the Fediverse.

Then what was the point in making this post at all?

Because I wanted to encourage my admins for a choice I like. Sorry you don't like what my admins do, but that's why I'm here and you're on sh.itjust.works

Sometimes, people just like to be nice. A weird concept, I know, but this isn't Reddit.

I remember private communities being on the roadmap for Lemmy (e.g. limited to the local users)

I guess once we'll have them we'll be able to discuss topics like this among ourselves.

I mean, even if that never comes to pass, this community is called "Reddthat Community and Support."

The core topic is Reddthat's community. If people don't like how we do things, it seems strange to whinge about it here.

But on the bright side, I was able to add a handful of especially tedious people to my blocklist. So not only can I not see their downvotes, but now I can't see them period!

You've been lovely, and I hope you have an amazing week!

“This isn’t Reddit” Look guys. Gotta make sure we know this place that isn’t Reddit isn’t Reddit. lol. And yeah I’d just downvote you. But you prefer this.

In the absence of downvotes, your condescension allows no recourse besides silently weathering the backhanded abuse, or getting shitty comments like this one.

Do not act surprised when you get shitty comments like this one.
