  • I struggle with downvotes for my tastes vs the communal good.

    If I’m scrolling through gonewild and I see a post from a gender I’m not into, do I downvote because I don’t like it?

    No, because that punishes someone else (who’s putting themselves out there and contributing) for my tastes, and it doesn’t actually improve the algorithm of what gets served to me.

    If it’s spam, or a photo of someone’s thumb wearing a tutu, or off topic, or violating a rule then I’ll downvote (this is pretty rare though).

    I also usually block posters who aren’t to my tastes, but that feels too coarse grained because maybe they post in the asklemmy or something with great content there.
