Really, really pessimistic hope though lol
And instances can turn off downvotes!
Turning off downvotes is terrible. There should either be no voting, or up and down votes, with both displayed separately. This "upvote" only nonsense was created by corporate sites to make everything look popular for increased engagement, therefore increased ad views. No idea why Lemmy would follow that example.
I support downvotes too, even if it doesn't look like it from the post. If it's used correctly, it's a really good system.
pretty sure because there's a bunch of amateur porn communities, and people generally stop posting pics of themselves if they get downvoted.
so, since downvotes literally kill those communities, they added the ability to not display downvotes.
my only gripe with this is, that it's apparently an instance-wide toggle, which is a bit inconvenient...
