I made my point very clear if you want to have a discussion with me do so without name calling.
I'm refusing to acknowledge your points because of your uncalled for name calling. Until you apologize I have 0 interest in talking to you.
Me pointing that the feedback is coming from people who have no stake in getting their posts downvoted. Isn't the same as your name calling, condensing behavior. It seems like you are lashing out at me more than trying to get your points across.
I find your use of name calling disrespectful and your tone condescending. If you want to have a conversation with me do so in a respectful way.
Unless you try making posts here you wouldn't experience first hand why people don't want downvotes. It's easy to criticize without having perspective of people who are submitting content. There's also some entitlement of people who want certain content who are doing nothing to get that content.
Only if those things get upvoted. And if those things get upvoted the community probably wants to see that content. In that case it's only "spam" to you. If you don't like those people who post "spam" you can block them.
Another opinion from someone with 0 posts and 0 comments on lemmynsfw
Trying to force conformity or censoring their contributions using down votes will only end in frustration and lower user count.
That is what has been happening the past 6 months on lemmynsfw. I'm very glad a change is being now to right this ship.
I love her

My problem with downvotes is that people are using downvotes to downvote that things they don't like.
I have observed people heavily downvoting the following things:
This leads to
This is why I am in favor of disallowing downvotes.
Having upvotes is enough to determine which is "good" or "great" or even "bad" content in a community. Because the upvote count relative to other posts in the community tells how it was perceived by the community.
Having a more "targeted" home page may help people find things that they like instead of an endless stream of a big jumble of random content.
Reddit doesn't have this problem because no one browses the entirety of NSFW content by new instead there is an "all" but even that had NSFW content removed from it. So really people are browsing only by the things they have subscribed to meaning if someone were to downvote a post they don't like they would have to go out of their way to see it.
