This isn't about Hexbear. As far as I know Hexbear federates downvotes but does not have downvotes, which puts us at a vote disadvantage. It's Beehaw and some others that reject downvotes from other servers. They send a 504 response to the incoming downvote request from the other server.
We should do that!
Do we need to? I kinda like that we dominate without them.
only if we start getting lurkers that downvote trans shit again. I may still be misunderstanding how they work on hexbear though
Fortunately this is only really a problem in /new/ and by the time any trans post reaches /active/ it's going to be too powerful to be affected by it. Also nobody can see the handful of them that might happen so it shouldn't affect people here.
Could be wrong though and in that case some method of turning it off for specific comms might be useful.
we are even more based than I thought possible
