I’ve never heard this. I’m pretty sure the internet has decided otherwise.
I mean, you practically asked for the downvotes. (Also, if that is truely the intent, then they’ve made some critical errors in UX design)
This is not Reddit.
It’s literally a vote, not a relevancy guide
If they have a restricted use, why am I given discretional control of them? 🤔
You can see who downvoted. Just block them.
oof, ratioed af
Alright, hot take: This isn’t the case, especially on Lemmy/kbin. Since upvotes/downvotes don’t influence sorting, and scores aren’t totaled into a single number, there’s not really any downside to downvoting someone for just being a shitty opinion or something. If anything, it’s actively informative that this-many-people thought this guy was dumb, but _this* many people thought it was good.
Wait, so it’s not supposed to be totalled?
Jokes on you my instance turned off downvotes
Why’s this being downvoted? It was probably a joke 🤔
Even I don’t know what I meant. I agree with the post but my instance did also disable downvotes
Damn
