Please see my reply to another comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/1968065

The edit is the message that appears when I tap the little downvote arrow on the left that shows how many people downvoted the post/comment. It used to work before.

Today I commented on something and got 12 upvotes. Clearly, people liked my take. I also got 12 downvotes on the same comment and that provided a reality check - my take is agreeable to some, disagreeable to others. Then of course I have to take into account all the users in all instances that don't allow downvotes. How many people disagree with me that can't let me know without replying? Do I need to rethink my stance on that particular position or should I just double down on it because 12 people liked it?

I found out that I can upvote using the big arrow on the right and small arrow on the left (with the count). While the downvote arrow disappeared from the right the small one on the right remained. When I tap that it tells me that administrators disabled it.

Edit: "Downvotes have been disabled by server admins."

That is bizzare!

It matters that if there's an option to upvote, there should be an option to downvote. Why have only one? What is the point of some instances having just one of them while others have both? I don't care about points but I like to see how controversial something is when I read comments.

Yes, I'm not sure if I want to stay on it since it can have opinions and I can only have positive ones.

It is always the better option.

Ok, no problém.

Thanks it's not there either, but I just found out that lemmy.world disabled downvotes.

Do you know where in settings?

I'm on lemmy.world. I'll did a quick search but nothing popped up immediately.

Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking?

That is odd. Perhaps mine atrophied from overuse.

I have only 'mark/hide posts', 'collapse threads' and 'default sort'. I'm on 1.2.0

I'm seeing -4 so clearly.

It's Czech. It also applies to Slovakian.

Wow, I've been on lemmy for a month after Sync died and now I'm already seeing the start of its demise. I haven't heard of Hexbear before and don't really have interest in it, but pre-emptive defeterating is a bit much. I don't think it's good for the fediverse either. It'll probably end up renamed to clique - verse.

My country had not been invaded by the Normans and we speak completely different language, yet we don't call it pig or cow either.

I listened to Rogan since 2010 and stopped around the time he moved to Texas. I just could find any more slack, nor could I find enough excuses for him.
