Can this be implemented as a toggle? I'm ok with having this working as it is now, sorta like a Return YouTube Dislike addon lol.
it doesn't actually work it's just storing your downvote locally and even if it did work that would be quite rude they disabled it and instances aren't run by corporations like twitter or reddit they're run by people their wishes should be respected
Hmm, but what about the downvotes I see then (if I ever, I'm not sure as I use a global score or whatever is called).
they're run by people their wishes should be respected
I understand the reasoning, but then this should apply as well for social media run for companies, in all other social media there are also people whose wishes to be respected , also in the way I was thinking of this working it wouldn't impact them in the slightest because those downvotes obviously wouldn't get to their instances.
What happens with instances that support downvotes? I'm pretty sure we are able to downvote beehaw posts from Lemmy and it doesn't affect them because they can't see it there.
True, I tested with an account on beehaw and I can downvote story/comment but after a refresh, it didn't work. (beehaw has downvote disabled)
