Disabled downvotes on the instance, hopefully temporarily.
Disabled downvotes on the instance, hopefully temporarily.
It seems like we have been getting swarmed by downvotes as of late on nearly every single post. The source seems to be people browsing by new, as the downvotes always happen very early into a post's lifecycle, and the people are total "randoms" (as in, previously unknown users). I checked up on a few of them just to see if they're alts or bots (we did have a troll incident that we silently dealt with) but the traffic seems genuine.
Hopefully this can be reverted in the future, since downvotes tend to be a useful tool by the community, but for now we're trying the Blahaj Zone way of handling things.
