The active sort should help a little with this, but ya its definitely a problem. Besides just blocking meme-specific communities, can anyone think of ways we could make discussions more prominent for people who’d rather use lemmy for that?
For privacy reasons, and so that people will vote honestly, I’d like this to stay admin-only (and possibly in the future, community mods). But if you ping an admin, we can look into it and see if you’re being downvote-stalked.
Lemmy is one of the few ones platforms that attempts to preserve vote and mod action privacy, to prevent harassment, and encourage ppl to vote honestly. Several other platforms just let any user see who voted, which isn’t the best idea since it’s been shown that ppl are less likely to be honest if they know that their votes are public.
The main reason I added it for admins, is bc a lot of ppl have been understandably upset by downvote-stalkers, or those who downvote with multiple accounts.
Like anything, there’s the possibility for abuse, but at least by limiting it to admins only, we can prevent a lot of potential harassment that other platforms are currently allowing.
That sounds correct for the user settings form, but not for the comment / post creation form. Open up an issue on lemmy-ui’s gitbub for this if you would.
