I’m not sure if just removing the button solves the issue, people who depend on it would just go somewhere else and then you lose someone who potentially could have been deprogrammed.
Like I can see how removing downvotes is a good idea and it’s already done here, because the last thing we need is to encourage dogpiling, but if we can educate people to use the upbear for a force for good it could serve a positive impact.
It means it will sometimes serve popular interests rather than socialist interests, but I don’t think there’s any easy solution, only education.
I’d honestly be fine with removing upvotes on Hexbear altogether. Too many people just have the mindset of more upvotes = correct anyway.
I need the validation dopamine upvotes give >:(

Lemmy unironically has a frontend for that. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to set one up for Hexbear

Yeah it would need to be updated for 1.0 I think. You can use the newest comment sort to replicate the way a phpbb sorts posts.
At first I thought this was a reference to PPB
PHPPBB
the extra P is for
PPBB
Ratio /JK
But how would the algorithm work without upvotes?
You can turn votes and scores off in your settings. I like them because I enjoy how they function for sorting stuff.
