minus-squareSkavau@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 hours agoI can throw it to Rimu, although I imagine the amount of users that truly only occasionally downvote (and never upvote) are pretty rare.
minus-squaregoferking (he/him)@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 hours agoAs per my edit it’s the entire point of the system to only go by up and down votes
minus-squareSkavau@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 hours agoOkay? Downvotes are valid at identifying bad posts, but spam downvoting is frowned on all the same.
minus-squaregoferking (he/him)@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 hours agoIt’s not spam if the user only downvotes. They may not think anything is worth an upvote but do see lots that they think are downvotes
minus-squareSkavau@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 hours agoI agree. That’s why it should take into account time between downvotes. Although I will add that I think the particular usertype you’re hypothesising is pretty rare.
