Really loving the new experiences here on Lemmy.one. But I’m seeing many subs with off-topic posts. Community downvotes will help overworked mods find and remove such posts. I understand no one likes to be downvoted but it’s a necessary tool for our community and only helps users understand and refine what and where they are to be posting their content.

    I think not having that will turn this into a tiktok or instagram.

    I’m now trying out lemm.ee which has downvotes, and so far looks good.

      I disagree, but it sounds like lemm.ee will be a better fit for you, and that’s the beauty of the fediverse 👍

        Yeah!

        The thing is others can downvote you from other instances. Just you can’t.

        I don’t know if lemm.ee takes the downvotes into account for the score, or ignores them. But from other instances you can downvote the same post or comment.

      -1 in terms of a comment score? If you can’t downvote, yes, the score is never going to be negative.

      That’s the beauty of federation: you can choose any of the 90% (or higher) of Lemmy instances that allow downvoting, instead of one of the few that doesn’t :)
