I’d prefer an approach that requires some input about what’s wrong with a post in order to reduce its prominence
A lot of the time, I downvote troll content that should not be engaged with. Like, not technically against the rules, but definitely someone who is not posting in good faith. If I responded to the post, I’d be contributing to the problem.
I don’t mean replying, but selecting from a menu of possible reasons to downrank a post. Slashdot’s moderation system that I mentioned earlier has (or had - haven’t looked there in a while) “troll” as one of the categories.
