KinkyThoughts

I prefer pale skin, so left if tan is the actual metric.

You can say the same thing about instances. Maybe there's a reason someone made a community that follows the same topic? For example, a lot of new communities may be alternatives to those hosted on the Tankie instances, like .ml.

You don't make sense. You've been told by me and even one of the admins that that's not what you're supposed to do. If you don't like the content of a certain community, like those posting AI content, then you block said communities. Downvoting them would have 0 effect on you and your feed, other than being a waste of your time. Downvoting does not make the posts go away, it does not hide them, it just is a much bigger effort than just blocking the community, for literally no actual effect.

You're quite literally proving their point. You're not meant to downvote things you don't like to see. Your argument is also completely flawed. A block is a one time thing per community. So how are you tired of this? Without a block you'd be downvoting every single post that comes up from said community, which is constant work, which you somehow would not be tired of? Unless of course it is your goal to bully away the people from said community so they don't post anymore at all, which again, just proves the point of downvotes being a tool for harassment. Maybe take some time to self reflect on your own behavior.

You're derailing the topic with off-topic pseudomodding.

If they post that same thing in a community about fetish x, then the community can simply be blocked by those so inclined.

Yes, they could. But that's not what's going to happen.

Please take your own advice.

I'm 50/50 on this, so I'll not vote, but I want to at least share my thoughts.

On one hand I generally like downvotes, because it makes it easier to identify bad actors & trolls. However, on an instance that's all about nudity and sex, it could become a tool for harassment towards original content creators, which could discourage them from actually participating here. And I think OC is something we'd generally like to see more of, right? Or if we go with people who may be not quite the model standard body type, or do content that may not be the most vanilla kink out there, then they may be discouraged simply by people being not a fan of it, and it being very visible to them. It's one thing to not get many upvotes, another to receive a lot of downvotes.

If this was a regular instance I'd easily vote for the downvotes, but here I'm rather leaning towards "nay".

Left. And also: Source?
