[email protected] got more activity last week, which is really cool!
[email protected] had someone post a question and immidiately got plenty of answers. Awesome to see that.
What I struggle a bit with is the consistent 2 downvotes and sometimes more on seemingly completely innocent posts? Because when a community is small this affects visibility in my understanding? The first votes are often the two downvotes.
I had a theory that some app "hides" posts on downvote and guessed that people are scrolling "all" and downvoting as they go through the posts.
You can use tesseract.dubvee.org/ to view downvotes. If someone downvotes all of your content without commenting, I would just ban them
Thanks Blaze, I remember that votes are not actually anonymous in threadiverse but was too lazy to figure out a way to check them. I'll check out tesseract and try to figure out whether these are random downvotes or is someone just being a dick.
I honestly don't care about downvotes but it does seem to affect visibility in some sorted feeds like "Hot" no?
It does, indeed. Not sure about the calculation, but it has an impact
How does this work?! I tried it but didn't see names. Is this a mod only feature?
If you look at a post of a community you mod, there's a small shield icon that allows you to see votes
Oh boo, now I can't get vengeance. I got no mod powers.
Oh, I thought you had 😄
Nah, I just want power with no responsibility.
