As much as I like the wholesomeness of the concepts of upvotes only, I’d love to downvote idiots on other instances
I prefer not having downvotes enabled here. Instead of just downvoting your suggestion, I’m having to actually think about why and put it into words and contribute to the discussion. 😉
Downvoting usually impacts marginalized people far more than “idiots”. (Side note: this sort of casual ableism against people with mental disabilities is extremely common, but we can strive to do better.)
I’m confused, does this mean that if your account was created on an instance without downvotes you can’t downvote thongs elsewhere where they’re enabled? How does this work the other way?
Yeah, everyone from another instance can downvote things on our communities but we can’t, neither on our communities nor on others
