There’s so much spam, and people diligently downvote. But the posts are still shown, with -53 votes or something.
When a post is clearly unwanted, could it be hidden?

“Reddit is fun” had a feature with a vote threshold, it was something like “don’t show posts with a score lower than ___.”
This would be tremendously useful to have in Voyager. As an improvement, that setting could have a sub-setting, a list of communities where this setting does not apply.
I would probably want this in some sort of score/percentage mix. Like if a post had 15 upvotes and 20 downvotes, I would probably still want to see it as it just means it’s something controversial rather than low effort/quality. However going off of percentage alone wouldn’t work well in the beginning if it was immediately downvoted two or three times.
So probably more like:
score lower than {user_defined_low_score} AND score % less than {user_defined_low_percent}
We could also probably apply this to comment scores as well so we can avoid having to look at 2 users being petty towards each other… like what played out in one of the other replies to this comment.
