        Not moving the goalposts but I meant Lemmy in general, not beehaw, cause no downvotes

        But I admit you supplied a link to my request. I stand.partially informed

          Ah, so only beehaw prohibits downvotes, not other Lemmy instances. TIL.

          I guess even what I showed you may have gone negative if downvotes were allowed. The person I was arguing with wasn’t being nasty about it, just incredibly obstinate.

          I worry about a return to Nazi style anti-semitism (though I hate Likud) which the polarized discussions are leading us towards. It is arrogant to think it could never happen again.

          • Some Lemmy instances have downvotes, some don’t. It varies by instance. I think most instances have/allow downvotes. Beehaw & Blahaj are two bigger ones that don’t that I can think of off of the top of my head.

            Also agreed with your last bit. I’m nervous about it, too. I wish people would just be decent and… not suck, lol.
