Hey folks, the report button is not a 'mega downvote'
Just a reminder that reporting posts you don't like (or that you disagree with, or that are disagreeing with you) but that do not break any rules is a waste of my time and yours. Downvote and move on. Repeat offenders will be banned.
Pretty sure you still can, you just have to be browsing from an instance that gives normal users visibility to it.
Votes have to be tied to identities for federation of votes to work properly across instances, so that info is always available to the instance owner/admins, just not always visible to community mods and normal users.
Would somebody add a paid option to mega down vote?
Like, I'll pay a dollar for one chance to overwrite somebody's comment with "I am a giant peepeedoodoohead (or strike through their text would also be good)
This would work very well because on the one hand, I'm only going to do that to Giant peepeedoodooheads, and it costing a dollar would prevent me from doing it to every single one that I encounter, only the most atrocious, and it would allow me to financially contribute to this instance.
I don't think I've ever seen that, is that maybe instance or client specific? Otherwise I doubt that I've only ever been the first person to report a post.
