Recently, many of our anti-Zionists posts have been downvoted to oblivion by liberals. As hexberians realized a while back, downvotes only help liberals since they are more numerous and they don’t need to engage in discourse. I am proposing to just get rid of downvotes and instead engage in discourse on content that we disagree on.

    Please take this in the spirit of brainstorming: Does Lemmy currently have functionality for a attenuating weight of downvotes from certain specific federated instances? Edit: The weight in terms of comment sortition, I mean.

      Many may get it, but to spell it out: Some instances may become (or already are) havens for lib vote brigading. It might ease mod toil if attacks from those instances could be automatically attenuated in this way.
