mbin is now federating downvotes so now i can see how much of the lemmyverse ~~hates~~ disagrees with me on my home instance.

i know down votes are a contentious subject in some places, but i welcome them as useful communicative flags.

.. also seems to have cleared up the messaging queues handling the dropping of those federated votes. things are flowing better.

Downvotes, what an oddity. I can boast I can count the ones I've given on a single hand.

i am enjoying the public nature of the voting as downvotes now require consideration. i have noticed i use it far less than in the privately held voting systems like reddit.

When you put it that way, it's weird in hindsight to think of everyone here calling Reddit toxic. People are the people around them, but now it's good I guess (if you ask me, I enjoy both sites).

I get... A lot of downvotes in the Lemmy verse. I never knew how contentious and controversial I was.

You don't give me those vibes. You seem alright to me.
