Comment on Just started a community for those who wish to move away from Lemmy
Kaboom@reddthat.com 2 months agoPeople who get downvoted a lot end up with a ‘low reputation’ indicator next to their name. You’ll know it when you see it.
Software enforced echo chambers, as if it wasn’t bad enough.
Everything else looks so good about piefed, sad to see a deal breaker like that.

Yeah this is like the worst feature of Reddit taken to the extreme by the ability to filter out upvotes from communities, but still allowing downvotes from those communities to hurt your score. I can’t support a platform like that.

I will check, but IIRC downvotes on ignored communities aren’t accounted either

That’s not what it says in the building healthy communities section. It said that upvotes in “low quality communities” aren’t counted but downvotes are.

@rimu@piefed.social, we might want to revisit this, maybe it would be more fair to discount votes on those communities altogether
