In our previous announcement, we announced that we closed downvotes.
Some people found it right, some people hated it, some people hesitated. At the end of the day, since we are on a disorganised platform like fediverse, I find the decision we took right. However, I was also annoyed by the lack of downvotes. So I searched for a solution.
I think the planned post flair support will be a good improvement in this regard. But it seems to take a long time to develop.
What do you think about limiting downvotes to only members of that community? I see it as the optimal way in the current situation.
Please vote with empathy, not just as a user, but assuming you are a poster user. Is it right decision?

Result: done.
Without down votes, votes are meaningless.
This whole thing is stupid..
Why would I upvote when my choices to express my satisfaction with a post is intentionally limited?
Having abilities and then them being taken away, and now a "vote" with no options I agree with, feels wrong to me.
I guess I’ll upvote this..
I agree though
Exactly this.
Why is your comment highlighted?
