It's also entirely possible that someone just really doesn't like that such content exists. Stop drinking is meant as a support group for alcoholics. But it's messaging sounds a bit like moral crusading against alcohol. And that sounds like the sort of thing someone scrolling through a front page would take objection to.
Honestly I think we need more voting options. Some that I would think would expand on up/down votes:
I like this
I don’t like this but the content is good (think news articles delivering good journalism on bad news)
I don’t like this and don’t want to see more (irrelevant content to you)
I disagree with this post
Content is irrelevant to the community
Content is spam/harmful/etc
That’s obviously not what they would be called, but those are the feelings the votes should convey. And those can be expressed in a simple upvote downvote front to end users as well.
I like this and I don’t like this but the content is good both deliver upvotes
I don’t like this and don’t want to see more doesn’t do either, but tells the algorithm that you don’t want to see that stuff (I don’t even know if any fediverse stuff ranks with an algorithm.
I disagree and content is not relevant both downvote, and content is harmful both downvotes and reports in one action
is this an elaborate joke
and you could streamline it as a list of emote-like buttons that convey each of those options somehow. the binary good/bad that we have now has led to a non-trivial amount of people taking it way too personally or obsessing over the singular number - a lot of times it's easy to go straight to thinking of the worst case scenario, and that way of thinking about social media usage exacerbates a lot of mental health issues that've been revealed in all those studies linking them (social media and mental health)
Pretending that votes mean any more than agree/disagree is just a delusion.
