Today after updating Voyager the downvote button was gone. What is the reason for removing it? Is lemmy going the way of YouTube?

    There is a setting in the general settings panel to show up and down votes on a post, and when I do that the downvote always works for me.

                You say that you found out that lemmy.world had disabled downvotes. Where did you you find that out? I’d certainly seen nothing myself here - I know that some instances have - and can certainly see and use the downvote arrows.

                  I found out that I can upvote using the big arrow on the right and small arrow on the left (with the count). While the downvote arrow disappeared from the right the small one on the right remained. When I tap that it tells me that administrators disabled it.

                  Edit: “Downvotes have been disabled by server admins.”

                    Could you explain your edit? My down vote button has also disappeared and I want to know if it is due to voyager or my instance.
