for example, when i go to lemmy.world, i see downvotes, but here, there are none. i find that pretty cool :)
i want to be able to post genuine things without being downvoted to hell, even though they shouldn’t matter to me in the end.
You must log in or register to comment.
It’s a per-instance setting. Downvotes just go into the void, here.
I also think it’s a good idea. If downvotes were just used as a way for communities to self-moderate it might be nice, pushing things that are objectively not contributing anything valuable out of view. But in reality they’re used as a disagree button at best, and in harmful ways at worst.
We just use the report button if something is truly out of place.
