Really disappointing decision. I'm tired of blocking so many niche (to say the least) communities polluting the local feed.

2 additional AI communities blocked since yesterday. What will happen when they will flood the instance?

Do you want downvotes? (POLL)
I've just counted 100 communities I had to block to get a semi interesting "local" feed, in addition to 7 posters who were really not my taste. How many hentai/anime communities are really needed for example? So yes, downvoting makes sense as long as there is a local feed, that's how lemmy works.
And yes, I have witnessed a clear improvement since downvotes are back.

Well yes and no. Your are meant to downvote things you don't like to see, that's the whole point of voting.

I'm not downvoting a community but posts. AI community posts are not something I want to see and polute my feed. I block and/or downvote. Lately blocking has been very tiring.

And ... the local feed is back to unusable while the overall quality in subscribed subs is down.
Unfortunately very predictable result.
