Blahaj Lemmy Users - Downvote question (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

My wonderful co-admin @supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone has made a modification to the downvote system. It's not currently enabled, but if we were to turn it on, downvotes would be available for use, but they would weigh 5 times less than an upvote.

Which is to say, it would take 5 downvotes to counter an upvote. This would let downvotes have an impact on what appears in the hot topics sort, but hopefully mitigate some of the more negative impacts of downvoting.

Are there any strong objections from Blahaj Lemmy users to enabling downvotes with this modification?

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3063 it got denied, and it's incomplete, but if you want to base yourself off of this I'm all for it.

Ah that's a shame, although I understand where they're coming from being wary of complicating settings for the front-end. Either way I'll look into it a bit when I can get to my PC and see if there's still any hope for it lol.

Regardless of what happens with it, I appreciate you making the PR!
