    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.
