Kbin does allow downvotes from what I can see and downvotes doesn't really bring it to a toxic environment as it's just a way to easily disagree with someone without having to go into depth in the comments. It's like YouTube videos, if you dislike it doesn't mean it's bad, it just means you personally don't like it.
This is literally not what downvotes were ever meant to be for.
Downvotes on a main post = This post doesn't fit this community.
Downvotes in comments = This post is off-topic, spreading misinformation or hate, and/or is actively hindering discussion (insults, assholery, etc).
I didn't know that, Thank you for informing me what Downvotes where originally for.
