I am not here to read my own opinion, I am here to read other's opinion, preferably different to mine, so I can enrich myself with their opinion and them with mine. When we introduce "upvotes" and "downvotes" it's easier to be in an echo chamber.

Anyway it's important that women have their own space!

If I remember correctly, downvotes were supposed to filter out spam and other unwanted content, now it is a disagree button.

ok ok I admit defeat. Downvotes were not meant to be a "dislike" button.

A lot of good ideas end up having terrible use.

To be fair, their use was also debated

I've disabled showing of downvotes in Jerboa. Also disabled upvotes, but re-enabled it for a system that I ended up not using. Lemmy without vote counters feels amazing!
