    You can post anything and it will get down voted. Lemmy is as toxic as reddit and people use downvote as a tool to suppress what they don’t like, regardless of the merit of the comment.

      Downvoting doesn’t really suppress anything.

      Also you can effectivly disable it by switching to a frontend that hides votes and sorting by new. I think that’s even the default for some instances.

        This, and moreover some instances don’t dederate downvotes.

        I’m on Kbin so I only see downvotes from other people on kbin.

        People on Beehaw don’t see downvotes from anyone because it’s not a thing there.
