In https://lemmy.world/post/50116148 , I asked for ideas on how to improve the rules.

The 3 pieces of feedback I received:

  1. should we have a “no mass downvoting” rule? too often I see an unpopular opinion post where every OP comment just gets blanket downvoted despite very much engaging in good faith - 2 upvotes, 0 downvotes
  2. I just wish people upvoted unpopular opinions, instead of the opinions they agree wirh. Anything people don’t agree with, they downvote. :( - 18 upvotes, 0 downvotes (not sure if this is something we can easily turn into a rule)
  3. Remove no politics rule. Let’s get some political unpopular opinions - 4 upvotes, 3 downvotes

Let me know what we should change from the list above - if anything.

      I have always viewed a massive number of downvotes in the same way as a massive number of upvotes.

        “mass downvoting” means blanket downvoting comments, not just a post getting too many downvotes

          You mean like one account just blanket downvoting every comment?

          Seems like it would be a pain to enforce with little benefit

            pain to enforce? simply look at any OP comment that mods think was unfairly downvoted and put a downvoter’s name into lemvotes
