This is already possible, just join an instance that has downvotes disabled. This has been an option for years. If you don’t want downvotes, just move to such an instance, there are plenty of them.

Thanks, did not know about this.
So, from a technical view…
There is a person who is mad about the fact that a different opinion might exist… That person clicks downvote in their app and it does not have any effect??

They are good questions. The downvotes for an instance with downvotes disabled are simply ignored so they don’t appear in the interface and they do not affect sorting.
