By default, Lemmy allows downvotes globally. However, when a server disables downvoting, it is similar to using a feature that is usually reserved for enterprises and very small, non-federated communities.
If a user prefer to not see downvotes, they can disable it by his favourite client settings, but the rest of the community should not miss this functionality for the pleasure of few users.
How about this: you can choose whether you want to disable downvotes in your Lemmy client, and everyone can live happily ever after.
That already exists.
Exactly.
Exactly.
I’m confused, what are you complaining about again?
