What can be done about malicious users? There is someone posting quasi-religious antisemitic drivel in m/news. In reaction to getting downvoted and reported they have started downvoting my posts in ot (kbin.social)

I think we need to get rid of the voting system altogether. There’s a much better system based on interactions and comment sentiment measurement that in trials on reddit provide better results of floating values posts to the top.

It’s a fire hose of free speech. Block and filter what you don’t want to see. For now.

Censorship is something you can control on a personal level. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean that the world should not be exposed to it.

I personally hide 99% of political stuff on Xtwitter. Makes for a cool open discussion on tech and my other hobbies.

@b1ab Voting does seem to just encourage the toxicity Reddit had/has. We also need to rely on moderators which is really spotty. Maybe it's my instance?

I hear ya. Voting is supposed to help self moderate, but it is just abused.
