Just venting here. It’s a very low traffic community for a sports team, with announcements from that team’s own website posted to the community. And people have to come in and vote it down. 😐
Down votes mean nothing. Don’t feel bad ok ? Just passive aggressive a holes
Downvotes change the visibility of posts. If I’m subscribed to a community and non-subscribers are making it less likely that I’ll see the very relevant post to the community I’m subscribed to, that’s not meaningless, it’s censorship.
yeah I know. just needed to whine for a minute but I’m over it.
💯
Likely what is happening is the post is getting to all and non sportsball people down vote it.
Every post gets to all of every federated instance. That’s what all is. People are censoring the subscribed feeds of other users and Lemmy has no way of dealing with this problem.
but there’s no algorithmic result to that! bunch of hosers.
… K mate.
An algorithm has nothing to do with all.
The thing is Lemmy is still small so lots of folks just browse All (or Local) and see stuff they don’t seek out and might not like.
I just don’t get some people, making a post to complain about downvotes.
Maybe post things people want to read?
And yes, know that this has reached me, the community will be blocked, as will this user.
They posted something that subscribers to the community would want to see and a bunch of other thought less people are try to make it less visible to the subscribers.
Downvotes are meaningful to visibility.

Why not block the community? Then you’ll never have to downvote it or see it again?

Well mostly because you definitely seem like the kind of person who would have let OP know that you were blocking their community if you were.
Maybe you just forgot 😊

Don’t you have some videos to return?

So was it the quarterback or wide receiver who stuffed you in a locker in high school?
