THIS is what I want to see when opening Lemmy! Not this circus called US politics!

Prevent opinion downvoting by disabling downvotes globally.

50 upvotes, 90 downvotes, that’s not problematic at all, but there is the huge total score of -40 in this case that could lead to the deletion of the post or comment.

By the way: My instance is one of the few with downvotes disabled. So, if you want to give me feedback on this, I can only see comments…

Opinion downvoting was the most toxic feature of Reddit and led to perfect echo chambers. We should have left it there.
