    I’m in the same boat, but I also don’t think I could join an instance with downvotes disabled. Status quo is great, but there are times in which downvotes are necessary - seems a bit shortsighted to disable them

        Honestly, I wondered about this… I should look more into that. I’m fine with my own upvotes/downvotes being public on this account - i probably wouldn’t want the same on a work or NSFW account, and can understand why it’d be an issue on personal accounts for some. A necessary evil for federation.

        Honestly, the main thing for me is retaining the ability to downvote disinformation, bad faith arguments, and excessively offtopic/low quality contributions to a community. Definitely not an issue at Lemmys current size, it’d be a massive issue as it grew.

          I pretty much upvote anything I see unless it’s one of the bad points you mentioned, and a funny side effect is that I can see what I haven’t read yet because it hasn’t been upvoted/downvoted.

        Technical note, of course the systen needs to remember who voted and who didn’t. I heard that it can cause considerable network load at the servers.

      So downvotes are disabled even for communities not on lemmy.one? So in other communities people can downvote me but I can’t downvote them? Arg, I picked the wrong server.
