I don’t believe they add anything to the experience and are actually toxic. If you have a strong opinion on why they should be allowed let me know, I can’t think of any.
Resurfacing this. Downvotes are fully disabled on this instance
3 points
I re-enabled them but then turned it back off.
As an instance admin I can see all the votes. For the one day I had this enabled I can see the downvotes come from non participants and drive-by downvoters. Additionally they all seem like trolls and non vegans
Downvotes are staying off.
