“downvoting posts discourages these posters who are actually passionate/interested in the topic of the community from posting again. Additionally, when posts are downvoted like that it can bury them, preventing them from being viewed by others almost at all.”

Isn’t that literally the point of down voting? To discourage posting that doesn’t fit the community so that it isn’t seen by as many people… ESPECIALLY since the focus on this instance is NSFW then more discouragement of posts that don’t fit should be the goal so that users subscribed to those communities surface the appropriate things they want to see. You’ve removed users’ agency to shape their communities and caused waaaaaay more work for moderators.

This also takes away our ability to down vote posts across the entire federation it appears?!

I think I’m confused. She’s not giving one book to her upline she’s sending it to some random. Then the 36 books are from strangers that she hasn’t put any work into finding according to the post. That’s not a pyramid scheme… If anything the original person who posted the picture is just doing a whole bunch of coordinating and work but your friend isn’t. There are either details missing you haven’t shared that contradict what this picture says or you are reading this wrong.
