//Thanks for your input.

That's a good point you reminded. Never have liked the official reddit app and I still think it's garbage compared to several best other third parties apps it had. I like the variety of lemmy apps. Reddit limiting apps was one of the reasons they have been left. As for the ads – I'm looking at pi-hole right now. So at least at home I would not see ads while on reddit mobile app (while on wifi). Also it's not a problem for me to setup home vpn – to be able to browse nsfw without ads on mobile aps (while away). Just as any experienced IT guy I'm a bit lazy to do more than minimum nesesary and to this day Firefox+uBlock was quite enough for me.

// Thanks for joining discussion.

Left because I didn't liked what reddit did to long established communities and their mods, during the "F**k Spez" event. Guess my main reason was their (reddits) intervention into the communities freedoms of how, when and with what tools do they allow users to browse, and after the fall down of lots of communities mods (when they tried to make communities private or nsfw). That is clear that growing communities or niche one's are small. That's not a matter if something else is given. But now the same alike shit happened on lemmynsfw, disabling default and common functionality. That made me think - ok, so then what's the diference, and content there is plentiful more on another side.

Freedom was the reason to stay. Definetly there should be other reasons too which others have. Interested in to hear or discus them.

// Thanks for the answer and encouragement on english.

As for to answer you – that was not a purity question. That is more of a question (at least for me) why not to ditch this or why to wait more and for what? What are this servers communities about - insta style follows or reddit style user driven communities (facilitated by mods). To check if my expectations are inline with local vision.

It wouldn't. Why the hell can't I (or someone) randomly stumble on some post by choosing show me local (server) content feed or by choosing show me all, or simply by search and then vote up/down the post or comment even if I'm not right now in that particular comunity. E.g. if someone posts perfect or simply wrong misguiding bulshit reply, or then I find the post very usefull, or then comment is funny or on a contrary it's not. People are not living in a boxes of closely guarded comunities without exploring whats outside or new, without migrating, joining, leaving, fighting, agreeing, cheering, checking what ather users are into, etc..

And to add the second counter(s), technicaly is just as a simple as adding one aditional db field on posts table (or two if we keep ups and downs totals as separate fields now). And after, adding a simple if clause near the existing ones caunting global likes/dislikes, to increase a comunity counter too if this particular vote request comes from comunity member. Thats it. Then you can start expanding sorting options to enable more sorting options, but thats even not nesesary at first. Quite enough it would be simply to output vote count as a text at the top of post, near the global total - to be able to see what comunity members think and to be able to compare to what outsiders think.

Now then downvoting on lemmynsfw is no more (lets hope temporary as they say), expect to see bot content more and to play more of a whack (block) a mole game.

A very good option here it would be a functionality to show two stats – a comunity members up/down votes and everybody's up/down counters. And add an aditional sort options, e.g. hot in community. This way votes could be localized usefully and used as a tool to rise best content in comunity without manual moderation, and a global functionality also wouldn't be lost.

P.S. Someone add a ticket for lemmy developers to work on it. I'm not on their repo.

And I support your ability to post here or anywhere, I encourage you to create the content no matter the opinions. If you see it to your liking or have a need (like in doing media compains) go for it. I just don't like crippling of vote system.

P.S. and how the hell are you taking out of your ass the idea that I spent my time downvoting anything here. Lol :) Hey someone with a serveradmin power here, show him my votes stats – I don't believe any if several downvotes where ever casted here (on nsfw server) by me, mostly only upvotes. Calm him down, I've mentioned his content only because he started to try atack personaly (blagh blagh you are downvoter, blagh blagh what ever have you given, etc..). I don't realy care what he posts even if it's not nsfw. :)

Oh, but I don't downvote that I don't like. I usualy down vote only the misinformation and propaganda. And we don't have such content on nsfw by definition. I just don't like someone bossing around with taking out functionality and an option of freely expressing your opinion and taking away concurency of opinions in a vote system.

I've expressed my opinion about that his content is not enought nsfw to be be here (on lemmynsfw), but I don't see a problem in him or his content beeing here. And I don't see a point in blocking him or even voting his content down. I just want my tool to be able to express my opinion more silently if his content will begin to get in a way too much, e.g. downvoting some repeating post if becoming too spammy on a main flow of local posts. Sometimes down voting someone on particular anoying post silently is much much better then telling what you think laudly and in details or blocking poster, community or yourself out. I vote for self regulation in comunities.

I agree with you. Ignoring or silently downvoting would be much better than commenting, when you have nothing encouraging or constructive to add. ;)

Yes 😂 you can't any more. From now on everybody will have to play a stupid game of adding aditional comments with "I don't like it", "I like it" and then upvoting one of them. That's just silly. I see your good intentions, but don't agree with the means. The only efect it will have on sorting is that the post will be counted as equaly active in both cases. Comunity will not be able to rise and drown posts to their liking.

I don't like your content. It is useles as nsfw on a nsfw server, cause it's is not a nsfw, just some boring celebrities default photos promoting for them not to become forgoten. Do you think I'll begin to think that your content is in the right place (server) just because you take voting down off? Shit in a wrong place is shit in a wrong place. Concurency of ideas, opinions, random content has to be free and it has to have all means of expressing those opinions and having a way to know opinions of others is esential tool.
