Hmm, that is an interesting idea...
I might look into this one. Would something like voting buttons in the crosspost dropdown be an acceptable alternative? I think I would prefer to keep 1 action (click) means 1 vote, but making it easier to vote on crossposts makes sense with the way that piefed consolidates comments.
So, voting buttons here maybe? (no promises, just an idea) -
That would be pretty cool.
Probably just upvote, though? Don't want to encourage drive-by downvotes, really.
I don't think it is a good idea. Some things that are acceptable content in one community may not be in another. You may downvote something in a sub about political news but upvote it in a meme sub or in a nottheonion sub.
I understand that this proposal is to have separate voting controls per cross-posted community, not automatically upvote all
That's a bit better but still, I don't think it is a good idea : upvoting for 10 communities should be 10 different decisions. Such a tool makes it impossible for a post to not be popular in small subs if it is in big ones
That's a fair point. I think in most cases I would want to be upvoting a post and all of its cross posts, but there are cases where I wouldn't want to upvote it in other communities.
For instance, a post that you like might get cross posted to something like c/facepalm. If you disagreed with that assessment, you wouldn't want your vote to be applied in that way.
Yes, I think that would be an acceptable implementation
