It feels pretty weird to me that people are almost programmed to recommend Therapy or Gym as the ultimate solutions.

Despite the fact that not all people are capable of doing both.

Further more, there is no study, as far as my knowledge go, that show any ultimate cure for depression. Matter of fact I had seen a study that suggest a very high percentage of people are drug treatment resistant (meaning that there depression would not get better with any prescribed drugs).

I had seen studies that say that training or even just daily walks can highly improve mood, but I had never heard that they fully cure depression.

I started seeing people doing the same thing on Reddit and Lemmy.

Let me be clear here, I support the cause. But I don't like manipulation.

This is kind of sketchy to me.

Is there is a current news/ research about this?

I think both positive and negative feedback is important for content sorting and as such would like if we reintroduced downvotes.

I understand that disabling them gives our posts an advantage in the fediversal post sorting algorithm. However most activity is off instance where downvotes still matter (just we can't take part).

The ideal solution would be to enable downvotes for local users but still deny downvotes from remote users as though we don't support them. This way we maintain the sorting advantage as well as gaining all the advantages of downvotes.

What do u guys think?

Do we still have one?
