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?

Not a big deal but it is kinda confusing that despite not being able to downvote a post the default browser UI shows a downvote button.

Now the buttons are hidden conditionally but unfortunately only on default UI.

The downvote now only registers within communities you are subscribed to.

The downvote button does show up everywhere though, which may cause some initial confusion (as i was too, but on second thought, makes sense. Now non-subscribed folks can press that downvote button as many times as they want to vent, but these votes won't register)

Same. I’ll find a solution for that.
