By default, Lemmy allows downvotes globally. However, when a server disables downvoting, it is similar to using a feature that is usually reserved for enterprises and very small, non-federated communities.

If a user prefer to not see downvotes, they can disable it by his favourite client settings, but the rest of the community should not miss this functionality for the pleasure of few users.

    They do, but once you hop into the “local” view you see all of those posts. And the users, instead of blocking those communities as “content that is not relevant for me, but might be for someone else”, simply downvote the posts as a knee-jerk reaction.

    (Yup, communities. I typically shorten it to comms.)

      Same happens to the Christianity community, unfortunately.

        • Are you seriously too moronic to see how your toxicity towards one group of people is no different to other peoples toxicity to other people.

          Imagine how u would feel if i said “Palestinians trying to make themselves the victims at every chance they get?” Im guessing that would rightly piss you off? Equallity requires the equal treatment of all groups especially the ones you dont like. If u want a good reason for this there are 6million numbered historical examples.

            Cute, you think your scenario is any way comparable to this one!

            Its not, and reviving a month old thread to post cringe is sad and pathetic

                Hate is hate. I guess ur just a hateful person.

                Haven’t shown any hate here, but nice try

                Calling someone sad and pathetic isnt good faith

                No shit? I saw you coming in bad faith and replied in line, fucking shocker there innit?

                    I havnt said a single word in bad faith

                    Bullshit

                    You just seem to think its ok to disrespect some people because of their culture.

                    Pretty sure I specifically called out flax for being one of those “christians are always the victims” kinds of people, which isn’t disrespecting someone based on their culture: it’s calling out a concern troll for what they are

                    You sound like a butthurt Christian desperately hoping you’ll find a way to become the victim here, a month later. Sad and pathetic, as said before

              If you enjoy child rape and every single evil, since you worship the embodiment of evil, then sure, go ahead.

                  I believe child abusers should be imprisoned in solitary for life. This goes for clerics as well. Problem?
