Really loving the new experiences here on Lemmy.one. But I’m seeing many subs with off-topic posts. Community downvotes will help overworked mods find and remove such posts. I understand no one likes to be downvoted but it’s a necessary tool for our community and only helps users understand and refine what and where they are to be posting their content.
I actually agree that people should just join an instance that best fits with their goals rather than trying to change an existing instance (assuming that things were always that way). I’m only arguing about the benefits of downvotes in general.
I care because I think most people are better off with downvotes enabled; it would be in the best interest of the majority of people if they supported downvotes. I also support the existence of instances with downvotes disabled, I just don’t think that most people should use them.
