For some reason posts on our instance have recently gotten more downvotes from outside instances than usual and many posts look like this:

I personally don’t like the idea of disabling downvotes but if the feature is mostly going to be used by outside users because crypto is “le bad” we might as well turn it off.

    Thank you for phrasing it as a question. I can answer, but only for myself. I am a person and I like this community. I suspect others who have joined it do as well, by I’ll let them chime in if so.

    I do appreciate you leaving a comment rather than just downvoting.

    Have a good one.

        I don’t need to explain others downvotes or dislike of something to enjoy or find something useful myself. I dont need to base my appreciation of things on others differing opinions because I’m an individual not part of some hivemind that has to conform to popular of fashionable opinion to validate my preferences.

        What others do, they do for their own reasons, which I won’t know unless they comment to explain them to me.

        Aa to your question about what I think, I think that what I do for myself is “right”, because I choose to do it and say so as the authority on myself.

        I never said I was smarter or that anyone else was dumb, so what are you even on about here? You’re having a conversation with yourself that has nothing to do with anything I wrote.
