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?
What exactly happens when something is down zapped? Do those funds go to the rewards pool? Does a poster know they have been down zapped? Just curious. I have earned a cowboy hat by down zapping before haha but never wonder it's impact other than ranking prioritization.
Downzapping FTW!
I so rarely downzap, but I think it's very important.
Maybe I should think through what my downzapping standards should be.
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.

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.
Build people up…. Not knock them down…
Except 5hitcoiners, and AI, and bots, and schills, and influencers, and nym-itators…. In fact ‘kill ‘em all! Lol
well said, don't "waste" the sats, even they go to the reward pool.
Hot take: I think the only way to earn a hat should be through downzapping.
Maybe down zappers can get a black cowboy hat and up zappers can get a white one
Or simply changing the hat style, downzapping was the norm and upzapping had a feather 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
now you understand my daily struggle?

Yup. From the "what is a Downzap" faq that's available when you downzap someone:
what if I told you that the hat doesn't matter - the way to win is not to play. 👀
Has hat, hides hat 👀
TIL about downzapping
downzapped 🤣
Interesting
I don't even know down zappz existed before this post. Interesting. 🤔
Thank you for your service
