My fediverse instance removed downvotes ๐
That genuinely sucks and helps misinformation spread. It's part of the reason reddit went downhill after they did that.
It's because bigots will blanket down vote any and everything in queer instances.
Try holding a conversation when posts are all sitting in the negatives and nobody sees them unless they go directly to the community and sort by new.
That's the good thing with Lemmy, one instance can disable downvotes to f off TERFs, another has it enables for some civil discussion about bananas.
