What's downzap?
It's an option in the little dots there by the cowboy hats and time since posting.
What it does is decrease the rank of a post. You can spend sats to signal that you think a post is very low value and should have less visibility.
Yeah, I've seen it in the menu but never used it . Do you think the negative vote can be more effective in determining and differentiating the quality content from the mediocre one?
I think it's mostly used to combat various types of damaging content, more so than down ranking mediocre content.
So does this mean it has a bigger impact or priority on a post than the zap?
For relatively small downzaps it might be an equivalent effect.
The big difference is that enough downzaps cause a post to be "outlawed". Only stackers who enable "wild west" mode can see outlawed posts.
Damn I was hoping it would take zaps away and give them to me. Yes, I see no problems with this system.
Not directly. Downzaps go into the reward pool. so you'll get some of it back.
I so rarely downzap, but I think it's very important.
Maybe I should think through what my downzapping standards should be.
