The same people they’ve been fooling into voting for them for years. This is just propaganda speech delegitimizing the judicial process when they’re held to account for their crimes.

Thanks for making my brain hurt

Yeah, I didn’t catch that before I joined. I wish I had, but I didn’t even realize disabling a core feature would be on anyone’s mind.

That’s also a pretty weird stance considering that lemmy.one doesn’t have many local communities by design. So the idea is to disable downvotes because lemmy.one is a small community when most of the interaction is with other servers that don’t have features disabled?

It might be time to revisit that opinion with the current level of growth here. Or I might need to seek out another instance. Downvotes are a valuable part of self-moderating communities.
