“downvoting posts discourages these posters who are actually passionate/interested in the topic of the community from posting again. Additionally, when posts are downvoted like that it can bury them, preventing them from being viewed by others almost at all.”

Isn’t that literally the point of down voting? To discourage posting that doesn’t fit the community so that it isn’t seen by as many people… ESPECIALLY since the focus on this instance is NSFW then more discouragement of posts that don’t fit should be the goal so that users subscribed to those communities surface the appropriate things they want to see. You’ve removed users’ agency to shape their communities and caused waaaaaay more work for moderators.

This also takes away our ability to down vote posts across the entire federation it appears?!

“most of the damage has already been done”

Oh ye of little faith! There are boundless more people to harm.

Hey now, let’s not yuck others’ nsfw yums. They’re all good!

Now many many years ago when I was 23 I was renting from a landlady who was pretty as can be This landlady had a grown up daughter, had hair of red My roommate fell in love with her and soon the two rented This made my roommate my landlord-in-law and changed my very life … I’m my own landchad

Oh crap sir. I don’t want to fight sir! I think we figured out which of the two options. Now if everyone else could too.

I am thank you! Got a little lost on which type of shit post I was in

There aren’t any. The ones they linked below have maybe 2 out of 70+ comments defending them. I can’t tell if ImplyingImplicatior and ObviouslyNotBananas are dumb as bricks or being sarcastic.
