We Need Downvotes on Lemmy.one (lemmy.one)

Really loving the new experiences here on Lemmy.one. But I’m seeing many subs with off-topic posts. Community downvotes will help overworked mods find and remove such posts. I understand no one likes to be downvoted but it’s a necessary tool for our community and only helps users understand and refine what and where they are to be posting their content.

I was initially skeptical of not having access to downvotes, but I've not really come across a situation where I want to use it.

My view is likely to change though as more Reddit users migrate to the lemmyverse/kbin as a whole

It's been interesting because I've caught the reflex to downvote - and I haven't been able to. I've needed to think harder about my responses.

Agreed!

I personally didn’t mind the lack of (downvotes), but really thought I would at least miss it a little more but I don’t.

Granted I only recently joined so time will tell.
