No. Downvotes can help drive engagement as more people try to understand what was said.
People being downvoted doesnt necessarily mean it is hateful, it could just be incorrect or morally objectionable… it’s important that discourse is there, too.
But that’s the thing innit, it’s supposed to be a visibility vote, not an “I agree/disagree” vote, but people keep using it as that. Maybe we need more buttons.

we need a “meow” button where you just make a noise and don’t upvote or downvote
