Can’t downvote posts (piefed.social)

On the web, I see no downvote buttons on posts. In third party apps, downvoting does nothing. This affects all instances.

Comments are not affected, just posts.

Any idea what causes this?

I cannot find any reason for this, your account is in good standing and none of the automated downvote blocks should be applying to you.

Thanks for looking into it. Anything to do other than delete the account and try again? This is the second account that had an issue but not the same issue.

I used my l33t hax0r skills to log in as you and there were downvote buttons everywhere there should be. I downvoted a post, too.

Sorry, I'm out of ideas. Must be something with your browser.

This affects all instances.

Some instances won't allow downvoting (I believe this is true for blahaj..., for example) while piefed and some others will (see screenshot above).

It affects the ones that allow downvoting.

Oh, you're saying that behavior is happening just for you, I guess. Good luck

Downvotes are kind of a drag anyway. Can you still upvote?

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 4 points 4 days ago

They can be, but they also help curate things worth spending time on when you only have a few minutes to kill.

[–] LordMayor@piefed.social 2 points 4 days ago

Sure, but the behavior seems like a bug or misconfiguration.
