By default, Lemmy allows downvotes globally. However, when a server disables downvoting, it is similar to using a feature that is usually reserved for enterprises and very small, non-federated communities.

If a user prefer to not see downvotes, they can disable it by his favourite client settings, but the rest of the community should not miss this functionality for the pleasure of few users.

      They do, but once you hop into the “local” view you see all of those posts. And the users, instead of blocking those communities as “content that is not relevant for me, but might be for someone else”, simply downvote the posts as a knee-jerk reaction.

      (Yup, communities. I typically shorten it to comms.)

        Same happens to the Christianity community, unfortunately.

                If you enjoy child rape and every single evil, since you worship the embodiment of evil, then sure, go ahead.

                    I believe child abusers should be imprisoned in solitary for life. This goes for clerics as well. Problem?
