Recently, many of our anti-Zionists posts have been downvoted to oblivion by liberals. As hexberians realized a while back, downvotes only help liberals since they are more numerous and they don’t need to engage in discourse. I am proposing to just get rid of downvotes and instead engage in discourse on content that we disagree on.
This would be easier if the algorithm actually didn’t drop posts to the bottom of the pitt due to the libs downvotes.
That’s fair, and that could be handled in the lemmy codebase, IE putting a minimum score instead of the algorithm kicking things off the feed. You might need to open an issue for that one.
Ok, I will do that. How should I phrase the request?
Maybe something like, “don’t kick posts with a negative score off completely off the feed” or something.
