Comment on How to make the Threadiverse a nice place and effectively make it grow

make it immediately and publicly clear that a negative interaction is unwelcome

I couldn't agree more strongly... I mean we kind of have that already. Everytime I see something that has a score of like -40 because of all of the downvotes, I think they got their just punishment and it's clear that no one likes what they wrote. I think it's superior to replying because it doesn't give that person any reply to start an argument. Just silence and downvotes. But however we decide to do it, i think we should be very open and upfront with what's expected behavior. And I'd like to see that happen more often.

switch off visibility for posts/comments that have received a certain proportion of downvotes

PieFed has that feature. Comments with a score less than -10 (I think) just collapse. I think we need more of those kinds of features in Lemmy and the respective apps.

Neat idea. Would be cool if the threshold could be configured by the user too (though a recommended default value would be wise).

  I think it should be proportion and not net score. Ie. If after atleast 8 votes have been cast >70% are downvotes, comment is collapsed.

  Oh, forget what I said. I was going to write a lenthy reply... But in fact it is configurable in the user profile. -10 is just the default value.

    Being able to do this in Lemmy and configure it would be amazing. In Piefed’s implementation does it leave ‘orphaned’ responses to the hidden comment visible or does it hide those as well?

    I think no one ever opened an issue for such a feature, so please go ahead and do that.

    They collapse as well. But PieFed is pretty open to new ideas. If someone likes it differently and decides to address it, it can probably be changed.
