This is happening to me as well. Interestingly it's only on certain instances. I have multiple accounts and some of them log in just fine.
I'm brand new to Slrpnk, so I'm not sure if my opinion bears much weight here, but I was a bit bummed to get all set up with my subscriptions to find that downvotes are disabled (it's possible I missed this info in the sign-up process, but I don't remember seeing it mentioned).
I think the fact that the rule extends to even browsing other instances while logged in here makes it difficult to gauge a key part of the prevailing opinion on posts and comments. We are only getting half the story at a quick glance. It's similar to when YouTube disabled downvotes, suddenly making it much more difficult to gauge the quality of a post at a glance (especially on videos that contained tutorials that could be rife with false information).
I get that I could just leave and join another instance where they aren't disabled, but I really like the ethos and local communities here, and I don't feel like a downvote necessarily goes against that ethos. If anything, I think it is a slight overreach on personal freedom of expression and a bit stifling to the overall vibe to feel like a downvote is the end of the world.
I'm curious how long your poll will be open before making the decision and by what margin the winning decision must prevail.
I'm glad we're finally getting the ability to open Google Maps on our phones while it's also open on the car's display.
Wait, this is possible now?
Pretty sure this is an issue with Lemmy in general and not Jerboa. This happens on desktop, but weirdly not with all instances.
Wow this is legit. Thanks for sharing.
