One thing desperately needed is a method for mods/admins to check for brigading behaviour. This place (the threadiverse, not this community specifically) is crawling with more reactionary toxicity than almost anywhere I’ve ever seen, but it’s mostly cowardly ignorant people silently hammering the downvote button rather than saying out loud the thing that would get them insta-banned.
Also real blocks are needed - all we have right now is a glorified ‘mute’. If I block an asshole, not only is it because I don’t want to see their BS, but I also don’t want them to be able to see my posts & comments, at least not from that account.
Learn to not care about being downvoted. Unless there’s some dumb rule about too many downvotes leads to disciplinary action. You want echo chambers, I’m trying to get away from echo chambers, as are a lot of others i imagine

I don’t want echo chambers, I want places that aren’t full of reactionary assholes.
You’re saying “stop caring about downvotes”, well then, why not get rid of them entirely?

Is that supposed to be a “censored” version of a slur at the end of your comment?
