I’m not from Lemmy.one, but I was wondering what you think of not having downvotes. Do you like having the ability to downvote, or not being able to downvote and why?
Reddthat also doesn’t have down votes. Honestly, it doesn’t really matter. I don’t think down votes really add that much anyway
I like it, allows you to take posts at face value without any downvote bias
This is probably the main reason I’m considering switching to lemmy.one. Whenever I view a comment or what not, I can feel that I have a bias towards the person being upvoted instead of the one being downvoted. It seems to make it harder to take the post/comment for what it is.
Not only this, but I sometimes end up worrying if I’ll get downvoted for saying something, so I feel like no downvotes is the way to go. Do you know if any Lemmy clients support not showing downvotes if your instance doesn’t have them enabled?
Memmy and Voyager both let you hide the downvote column, or select total votes between them which results in the same thing if you’re on a downvote disable server. Other apps may also allow it.
Do they let you hide it on any instance or on downvote disabled instances?
Be aware we don’t have an active admin so you probably can’t create an account (assuming the server doesn’t just die one day!)
I’d rather have downvotes, although I do see the argument that it may lead to worse interactions. I don’t feel super strong either way, but I tend to use my non-lemmy.one account more often for this specific reason.
I like that getting down voted here doesn’t timegate your comments. Downvotes here are mostly pointless and are just visual representation of agreement
I really like it. Downvotes always feel like we’re part of a petty power struggle or debate, and I don’t come here for that style of toxic discourse.
