I’ve been thinking about this too in a way that allows for decentralized accountability. Example: a downvote is a really interesting tool - if it was paired with a client that could filter out downvoted replies unless you wanted to see them, that might be helpful. Then what might be even more helpful would be giving people an upvote vs downvote ratio on a profile (including their replies)… almost like a friendliness rating.

Anyway just thinking out loud. nostr:note14vv6dnnjx0uusrvhdl9yp33ft286dgamrz94rrtqsv5uddlz5a5suv2klc

People will do it out of spite (down vote) and even weapoize it.

It can silence voices that don't deserve it and this is NOSTR.

Technically what I described wouldn’t silence anyone. It would just give the OP the choice of whether or not they want to see downvoted replies. And if someone didn’t like that feature they could use a client who doesn’t implement it like that.

My point is down votes themselves will end up silencing voices that do not deserve it. They can be weapoized by tribal groups.

If you don't like a thing all the power is yours, to block it.
