Comment on Disabling downvotes - let's discuss
splinter@hilariouschaos.com 6 months agoSo far not really, though I think it’s inevitable eventually. The way I see it, people on other instances downvoting our content affects how that content is displayed on HC. So while our flavor of content is not for them, their opinion impacts how this content is displayed for us too.
If we did disable downvotes, people on other instances would still be able to downvote our stuff and that’s fine, but it wouldn’t impact how our stuff is displayed locally for us.
The downside of course is we no longer can downvote anything either.

Correct. Answer agree. So I think it would be best to disable them.

Then yes, absolutely take away the option to down vote. They are not acting in good faith, and they are not and should not be allowed to influence us in that way.
The downside of course is we no longer can downvote anything either.

I haven’t downvoted a single post on here, I think I’ve seen it maybe twice.
