  Your problem is that you can’t delist your community from /c/all.

  Your admin can, that’s a more effective way to deal with that than downvoting

  Otherwise, it’ll just fill up with all sorts of crap from communities with no downvoting rules, including edgy borderline racist stuff that’s not quite bad enough to get banned.

  I may be wrong, but admins will be able to configure what communities should be visible in the public view. So your instance would not show on their frontpage things that are not representative of the instance

  For users themselves who are browsing by /all and feel justified in downvoting because they don’t like what they see, it’s a different story. If a community is (in their view) problematic, they can simply block it. Downvoting has no place in their curation.

  And this is fine. /c/all should let users downvote posts they don't like so popular stuff can rise to the top. That's what makes /c/all sometimes worth looking at.

  Yeah, but community moderators also have the ability to look at those downvotes and react accordingly.

  Your problem is that you can't delist your community from /c/all. That sucks, but right now your posts are turning up in two different communities with different expectations and you just need to deal with that.

  Sure. I don't want to delist /my/ community from /all/ but if someone did downvote every post on the community made in the last day, I might consider that mass-downvoting from someone who doesn't like the topic and react accordingly.
