Who are we, youtube? Lol but seriously, can’t downvote I get a red bar saying problem voting. I can upvote though.

The merit comes from the content of the post not a pointless number tacked onto it. This isn’t reddit.

If the numbers were pointless, there would be no reason to disable them.

It’s working pretty well. Only complaints are people who didn’t read and see it’s disabled.

Why would you join an instance with downvotes explicitly stated not to be in use in multiple places, to just complain and ask to change it when you can easily join others that have downvotes?

That is true but not really relevant to what I said. By saying that it’s working pretty well, you’re in fact confirming my point that the presence or absence of downvotes matters. If they truly didn’t matter, Beehaw would have no reason to disable them. Or, if Beehaw wanted to be a lightweight experience with no unnecessary fluff, it would remove both downvotes and upvotes.

If that were the case we wouldn’t have upvotes either. But we do.

Thanks, I’ll bring that opinion up in the next admin meeting.
