We Need Downvotes on Lemmy.one (lemmy.one)

Really loving the new experiences here on Lemmy.one. But I’m seeing many subs with off-topic posts. Community downvotes will help overworked mods find and remove such posts. I understand no one likes to be downvoted but it’s a necessary tool for our community and only helps users understand and refine what and where they are to be posting their content.

I'm conflicted when it comes to down votes. In the reddit universe I'd watch within a small community where things were corgial and welcoming that for inexplicable reasons posts and replies would get down voted. This was a fountain pen group.

It might take hours or days for the up votes to take the comment or post into positive territory. The best the group could figure out was it was bots. I suspect some curmudgeon who didn't like when you'd mention Kaweco or what have you because they had a beef with them.

I believe an option just to report is the best option.

corgial

I think I like this word better than the original

[–] unfazedbeaver@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago

I vote we use this as the new official word. Corgies are very corgial, so it just works :)

Haha. My stupid brain wants to spell how we normally say stuff. Yes. Cordial.

Too late, new word created:

corgial: adjective

showing or marked by warm and often hearty instinctive friendliness, favor, or approval, as if welcomed by a pack of corgis.https://i.pinimg.com/736x/b1/c0/d4/b1c0d463c0839198b83dc63151d7c4f6--crazy-animals-welsh.jpg

You are correct. This is how society moves forward. Love the new word and definition.
