Probably first time seeing a post on 196 that has same number of upvotes and downvotes (and it's not 1-1)π
Wait, downvotes are now allowed?
I'm still not very sure about this and I wanted to ask about it here for a long time. I think they are "disabled", but I think on lemmy, disabling them means that for every 5 downvotes the system shows a downvote. I don't exactly understand how it works on communities with downvotes disabled.
Edit: I found this post by Ada about a year ago:
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/104422
Turns out that it (probably) was decided to modify the downvote system so that for every 5 downvotes, 1 downvote appears. I'm still kinda confused thoπ
I think when they are disabled you can still see the downvotes from your own instance but none from other servers. I'm the only user on my instance so at most I was able to see my own downvote.
Can you see my downvote on your comment? (Give it about a hour or so to federate)
I will remove it when you'll reply (or if a day has passed).π
Also, can you see any downvotes on this post? (I see 6 so far.)
Yes, I can see them all.
