President Joe Biden told Democratic governors during a meeting at the White House on Wednesday that part of his plan going forward is to stop scheduling events after 8 p.m. so that he could get more sleep, according to three sources briefed on his comments.
Hey mods, seeing actual articles constantly downvoted because people don’t like the news is getting really fucking old. Is it possible to start handing out some time outs or maybe just make a meta post?
So you think that the person who hosts the server is actually going to put together any sort of anything to detect when people are down voting articles that OP doesn’t think they should be?
I am not familiar with the underlying infrastructure and what data is visible for who but there is a record on a per user basis of who has voted for what to prevent repeated voting. Is that information not available to mods?
Nah, I like having a discussion. I’m just concerned that every article pointing out Biden’s flaws is losing out on visibility and discussion with those folks that aren’t crazy like us and don’t sort by New.
Thank you for at least not declaring me a tankie. There are times when I’m on the same side of the argument as both of them and there are times I vehemently disagree with them.
I can’t speak to what the ADMINs can see, because I’m not an admin, but as a mod, we can’t see the source of up and down votes any more than anyone else.
We have the queue of reported posts and comments, and removal and ban tools, and that’s pretty much it.
But what you’re complaining about is largely the hivemind at work.

How do you think this website works exactly?
My understanding is that if users are banned from a community they can’t interact with posts/comments in that community. Am I incorrect?
How would they know who is voting what?
Pretty sure that kind of info is available to the server host

Naw, probably not. Just saying what info I think is available to who
Fair enough

I for one feel it’s crazy they don’t ban everyone who feels differently about things then you do.
My bro! You truly understand!

Don’t worry, you have return2ozma, givesomefucks and all the other tankie-types constantly reminding everyone.

I don’t think the other two are tankies, I was mostly referring to the gang with commie or something adjacent to that in their names.

Fair enough. Thanks for doing what you can.
Thry may have just been down voting my sarcastic commentary on it, given that Lemmy essentially allows the text field to be the top comment
