We Need Downvotes on Lemmy.one (lemmy.one)

Really loving the new experiences here on Lemmy.one. But I’m seeing many subs with off-topic posts. Community downvotes will help overworked mods find and remove such posts. I understand no one likes to be downvoted but it’s a necessary tool for our community and only helps users understand and refine what and where they are to be posting their content.

Oh crap. Lemmy.one doesn't have downvotes - this is bad.

Without downvotes it is not easy to know which comments are controversial. I don't want to join another tiktok or instagram, I want to join something informative and thus a proxy of the value of the information (while not perfect) is critical.

I thought it was community specific, but looks like I can't downvote even on other instances.

I need to look for an alternative now.

Yes, you will have to be sure to join an instance aligned with your values on moderation.

I think not having that will turn this into a tiktok or instagram.

I'm now trying out lemm.ee which has downvotes, and so far looks good.

I disagree, but it sounds like lemm.ee will be a better fit for you, and that's the beauty of the fediverse 👍
