What is this? And how do I make it go away?

Ah true! NodeBB doesn't support emoji reactions yet.
Thanks for reminding me of yet another way we're behind Piefed :muscle:
-
Emoji reactions are a big one - rather than voting you can apply an emoji, which is a much richer expression.
Every community can have different settings for who can downvote. Here are the options:
If you downvote more than you upvote, pretty soon you can't downvote anymore.

ngl sometimes someone gotta take one for the team 🫡

Thats what I kind of mean. some folks vote on everything. some don't vote on anything. some are very specific and thoughtful in their voting and some have default voting things. I have been both. I don't view voting information as at all useful in a community type of way. Now make it scarce and maybe. Like every day your get one up or down vote that will expire in a week or something. Thing about that kind of thing though is it encourages folks who like to manipulate to make a bunch of accounts. I could totally see cm0002 going through all his accounts to downvote things on lemmy.ml. I just don't think its very useful unless as a feature for accounts locally.

(Not specifically singling you out, I'm just speaking broadly.)
One of those side effects that doesn't just affect you. Makes me wonder if this was added because it increases engagement metrics.

To warn you, downvoting is public on the forumverse, so if you are perceived as reflexively downvoting at scale in a community- you risk getting community banned.

Its basically what was done with trust cafe which the wikipedia guy started. the thing is he did not make it federated and as much as I like the setup I like the decentralized nature of the fediverse betters. I like using the portal but if someone made an app with this type of function I would be tempted. well as long as I did not have to run it on a phone.

I would love rating to be used in a basic algorithmic view that only takes into account the ratings you give. trustcafe does this where verything can be rated (posts, users, comments, communities, domains, etc) and defaults to a value of 50 that the user can change to between 0 and 100. So like rather than blocking someone I can be like. This person is annoying but they are a real person (I think) and I don’t want to totally discount them so I will drop them to 25 so their things go twice as far down my feed but then this other person I really jive with so I will rank them 75 so their stuff will be bumped up higher.
That's an interesting take on feed curation
