We removed it for valid reasons and it will be back when it can be
A majority of people want it back. Not having it has made this instance go to complete shit. What does "when it can be" mean give us some hard numbers for this not some vague promise of some point at some time. If i write a bot to comment on every post and comment with the words "upvotes me as downvote" will u ban it?
It would be a spam bot, so yes. What does a spambot have to do with this at all? Also these are opinions, you ask me for hard numbers when you yourself are stating your opinions as fact. We had multiple reports of harassment and brigading downvotes. We'll revisit the issue when lemmy updates and/or we can potentially have more moderation tools. I'd love to submit a PR and have fuzzy downvotes and hiding negative comments based on downvotes but, currently I don't know rust and even if I did this instance is pretty much run by 2 volunteers and we both have day jobs, so to reiterate, it will be back when it can be.
