mbin is now federating downvotes so now i can see how much of the lemmyverse hates disagrees with me on my home instance.
i know down votes are a contentious subject in some places, but i welcome them as useful communicative flags.
… also seems to have cleared up the messaging queues handling the dropping of those federated votes. things are flowing better.
i am enjoying the public nature of the voting as downvotes now require consideration. i have noticed i use it far less than in the privately held voting systems like reddit.
When you put it that way, it’s weird in hindsight to think of everyone here calling Reddit toxic. People are the people around them, but now it’s good I guess (if you ask me, I enjoy both sites).
