    I made that request on Lemmy and they turned me down. I wonder how I could switch my instance to piefed.

    My Taylor Swift community is actually doing quite well with each post getting about 15-20 up items, but it’s completely hidden because of all the downvoted from people who don’t like her. It hurts the community

        Can you link it? I can’t find it

        Lemmy devs went on a spree of closing issues as “not planned”, some of them sounded like good ideas to me, and some of them were actual bug reports which seems odd to close as “not planned”

        Maybe we need to start saying “PieFed does this” in our feature requests lol

            That’s not the same thing though. That’s about local vs remote users. But the OP’s post about PieFed’s feature is for people subscribed (following) to the community vs not subscribed.

                The objective is not to prevent organized brigading, but non community members downvoting from All

                    Generally I limit to subs but browse All occasionally to find new communities. Part of this process is upvoting and down voting stuff and seeing which communities has more stuff I want and less stuff I thought was worth downvoting. I then sub or block after that point.

                    That is how I notice spammed slop as part of blocking a community. No, I won’t be going back to remove down votes before blocking just because the community is about spamming slop and the posts fit the sub. Harm isn’t a down voting requirement.

                    This is the behavior that can be avoided.
