I believe there is precedent for that. I’ve seen people from HexBear say that because their instance doesn’t have down votes they leave comments to criticize people. I get the appeal of wanting people to justify downvotes but this is a casual internet forum. Nobody is going to do that every single time. I’m more concerned it will lead to more simple negative comments like “this is stupid”.
