No. Downvoting sucks. If you want to ratio libs, upvote everyone else. It amounts to the same. You see it in these dunking threads. The dunks are +80 and the original comment is +5.
Downvoting also gives rise to the old reddit phenomenon “the downvote fairy”, where someone would go into someone’s profile and downvote every comment, or downvote every other comment in a thread.
If you want to ratio someone, do it Twitter style by leaving a reply or screenshotting and posting to the dunk tank. It’s more fun for everyone.
Absolutely agree. I would say we should lobby for doing away with downvotes entirely across the fediverse, since it has had only positive results afaik.

This is a great idea. Feel like we have pretty solid evidence here that getting rid of downvotes entirely is a big improvement.
You’re instance is certainly onto something. Since seeing the Hexbear way, I’d be in support of getting rid of down votes on lemmygrad.
Hexbear continues to be the poster’s vanguard.
Removing downvotes? What are they going to be doing next!? Adding Pronouns!??!?!? 🤣🤣🤣
GOOD point
100% agree. The ultimate flex is ratio someone in an instance that disabled downvotes.
