why doesn’t blahaj lemmy have downvotes like most instances? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

for example, when i go to lemmy.world, i see downvotes, but here, there are none. i find that pretty cool :)

i want to be able to post genuine things without being downvoted to hell, even though they shouldn’t matter to me in the end.

here's your answer: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/5493235/4449914

Downvotes were often turned against trans folk on reddit simply because they’re openly trans. I have no desire to see that repeated here, and so I disabled them when we were setting up the instance.

Given that lemmy still has plenty of transphobes, it’s unlikely we’ll change it any time soon. Ideally, it would be a per user setting that allows the admins to set the default settings for new users, but that’s not functionality that exists at this time.
