In our previous announcement, we announced that we closed downvotes.

Some people found it right, some people hated it, some people hesitated. At the end of the day, since we are on a disorganised platform like fediverse, I find the decision we took right. However, I was also annoyed by the lack of downvotes. So I searched for a solution.

I think the planned post flair support will be a good improvement in this regard. But it seems to take a long time to develop.

What do you think about limiting downvotes to only members of that community? I see it as the optimal way in the current situation.

Please vote with empathy, not just as a user, but assuming you are a poster user. Is it right decision?

No. You can check previous announcement for the reasons.

I'm not able to explain here that we disabled downvotes not for algorithmic reasons like TikTok, Twitter, etc; but to protect posters. It is also funny that people who do not share any content make this criticism.

Well I hope you have no opinion on music if you aren't dropping albums yourself..

Don’t get me wrong but I think your statement is out of context.
