My instance has downvoting enabled, but I’ve learned that some other instances do not. Do the vote totals look different to users on different instances? It seems like some users on instances that don’t allow downvoting are unaware that it’s not the same lemmy-wide. It would be pretty confusing for them to see their vote go down.
I haven’t noticed that so far.
Also, even if that were an issue, please forgive me but I’m not entirely convinced that the problem of people posting comments that are lacking in nuance could be solved with a tool that has no nuance.
