We did vote for using an automated tool, even, to protect against such instances: https://sh.itjust.works/post/338826

I don’t know anything about Decidim yet, personally, but I think evaluating options like this is the way to go.

Personally I can’t think of how voting can be done cleanly within just Lemmy yet. It seems like there should be a special type of post developed for it.

I see a couple issues with your proposal. Actual discussion can either drown out the options to be voted, especially the ones that are being downvoted. Second, the snowball effect would be even worse than comment-based voting, as the earliest upvoted options would be on the top of the thread.
