Everything I downvoted was because I genuinely do not think it’s good. Like meat is not going to cure cancer.
I actually really like eating meat I just try to life a life that gives others room to enjoy this earth too without mutually destroying it.
Please tell me how I am the asshole :)
In the case of a hypothetical community dedicated to medical disinformation, I think the way to go is not mass downvoting but reporting posts/comments and letting admins deal with it. If necessary, admins can go as far as deleting the community. If the community is on a different instance, they can still “delete” it from view on their instance, and ultimately there’s always the “nuclear option” of defederation.
Mass downvoting is generally how one gets banned from a community or instance.
I agree with the idea of reporting the posts and comments, but I still see nothing wrong with also downvoting. Depending on how long mods take to respond/whether or not they respond downvoting may be the only means of impacting the situation, minimizing their reach through all available means is preferable
