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

      I assume you mean, that you disagree with my idea. In this case I find it a somewhat valid use of a downvote within the system that I outlined. But if everyone downvotes what they disagree with, before actually engaging with the content, it turns Lemmy into just another echo chamber.

        No I think you’re right, but it’s unenforceable and indistinguishable. Being hung up on it is silly IMO. More transparent to just do 2 sets of arrows.

        Sometimes the internet needs to tell you that your content is relevant and also people think you’re s fuckwit :).
