Uh, sir! sir! Your inclusive instance policies are unfair! MODS!

Wow! Literally nobody disagrees, the system works.
I have just upvoted your post
FAQ
What does this mean?
The amount of number on your post has increased by one, and you now have an unfair advantage in the marketplace of ideas.
Why did you do this?
There are several reasons I may deem a post to be worthy of positive number. These include, but are not limited to:
• Rudeness towards libs, • Spreading correct information, • Sarcasm not flagged with a /s.
Am I a mod of c/chapotraphouse now?
No - not yet. But you should keep making posts like this in the future. I will be forced to issue additional upvotes which will give you further advantages.
I can’t believe my post deserved an upvote. This must be a dream.
Not a dream, a spectre. It haunts the libs.
How can I get this to happen again in the future?
Accept the upvote and move on. But learn from this victory: your behavior will be tolerated on hexbear.net. I will continue to issue upvotes until communism wins. Remember: posting is a right, not a privilege.
thanks, bardfinn

also libs: “noooo, China is cheating by having a worldview that uses cooperation! That’s fucking fascist collectivism”
This isn’t about Hexbear. As far as I know Hexbear federates downvotes but does not have downvotes, which puts us at a vote disadvantage. It’s Beehaw and some others that reject downvotes from other servers. They send a 504 response to the incoming downvote request from the other server.
We should do that!
Do we need to? I kinda like that we dominate without them.
only if we start getting lurkers that downvote trans shit again. I may still be misunderstanding how they work on hexbear though
Fortunately this is only really a problem in /new/ and by the time any trans post reaches /active/ it’s going to be too powerful to be affected by it. Also nobody can see the handful of them that might happen so it shouldn’t affect people here.
Could be wrong though and in that case some method of turning it off for specific comms might be useful.
we are even more based than I thought possible
this doesn’t even make sense. they can downvote us and we can’t downvote them. we ratio them anyway.
Internet currency manipulators!
We have altered the voting scheme. Pray we do not alter it further.
Add downvotes for lib posts only.
Make it a power mods have
I am the mod team.
I’ve never seen downvotes used for anything other than indicating to others who to dogpile on, without it a lot of people simply won’t know which side of an argument they should be on
spoiler: you can just read the post and decide whether or not to dogpile
Reading is how the communist tankie propaganda gets you
tankie hooks
beware of books
they’ll make your brain woke
Oh no can’t have that (might need to pop over to Mastodon to see image)
Fuckit here is the link I just wanted the headline not all the dumb handwringing and wondering why when the answer is obvious https://www.npr.org/2023/06/22/1183653578/u-s-reading-and-math-scores-drop-to-their-lowest-levels-in-decades
Love how Lemmy has its own equivalent sphere to The International Community
Here’s what we do, we allow downvotes but then remove upvotes.
What if we banned posting?
Hold on, I’m into it. No more treats in the form of upbears and an incentive to be as annoying as possible?
I’d visit that instance. Call it Hexbrawl
⬆
hexbear should bring back downvotes, but only for posts on other instances
Agree, also there should only be downvotes on those posts
I simply turn off the federation. Most of the posts are shit.
how do i turn them off of ever seeing my posts or any posts i interact with?
You can set to show local posts only at the top.
I may see their comments on threads, but I try and ignore dumb takes on here, as I assume most people on hexbear are acting in good faith when being serious is called for.
So I assume a bad comment on here is just my interpretation.
But the liberals? Fuck no. They refuse to be anything other than “pragmatic”
