Does having to hold down a comment to open a downvote prompt make it less likely for you to downvote?

Just out of sheer laziness?

DirigibleProtein@aussie.zone on 14 Oct 15:12 next collapse

No, I use the swipe on the comment

Oh, never knew that was a thing. Guess that’s why it was a stupid question

No effect on my decision to downvote. I rarely downvote anyway, so the extra second it takes isn’t much effort.

swordgeek@lemmy.ca on 14 Oct 15:21 next collapse

Not for me.

I try not to downvote, either because it’s someone else’s (different) opinion, or because a reply would be more effective.

When a downvote is actuallu warranted, the extra step is minor.

Still, I quite like it. The effort delta between up and down votes acts as a reminder that we are better off building each other up, rather than tearing each other down.

Is this a reference to something new somewhere I’m not aware of?

Nemo@slrpnk.net on 14 Oct 15:59 next collapse

No, I already think twice before downvoting.

My client it is just a tap then another tap. So no.

What interface/appnare you using? On boost its exactly the same process for upvotes or downvotes. I don’t think an extra step would make any difference, I don’t downvote very often and when I do it’s because I think it’s worth doing.

BadmanDan@lemmy.world on 14 Oct 21:03 next collapse

I just found out you can downvote by sliding to the right on a comment. I’m still figuring out Lemmy

Well OP isn’t using Piefed but you can choose not to federate votes by default as a user settings option, and then you’d have to hold down the vote button to select a federated vote option instead.

The vast, vast majority of votes are up votes already and instances can disable down votes. Why discourage down votes on instances that use them?

This seems like a solution in search of a problem.

I don't think this was a suggestion, just a showerthought based on existing mobile app behavior

Lol, I literally spent an entire day searching the web to find a fix for RE4 crack on Steamdeck, nothing will stop me.

I “sideload” (aka: install), I flash custom ROMS, and I’m even using Tor right now, takes like 10 seconds longer to load and I still deal with it.
