MODERATORS
I think our points got crossed. I believe disagreement shouldn't result in a downvote but if they are adding to the conversation it can/should still be upvoted. Regardless of disagreement.
Either way. As discussed in the original thread, I disabled downvotes as that is what the (at the time) big instances did before people barely heard of Lemmy. I liked that idea to not have downvotes on Reddthat. Unfortunately a side effect was that it meant any user on Reddthat couldn't downvote on other instances. At the time if I had known that I probably wouldn't have made the no down vote! Even I find myself at the behest of this feature and find myself interacting more often instead of blanketly disregarding something (via downvoting).
I find it very interesting that your perception only changed once you made the move from the web to the app which showed a down vote button. If you had chosen one of the other applications, such as Jerboa, Eternity or voyager. I wonder if we would have had this conversation.
At the end of the day I hope you will come back but by no means should you feel obligated to stay.
Cheers!
