Should social media platforms only allow upvotes or favorites?

As I understand it, Kbin doesn’t allow downvotes just like Mastodon. Users can only mark a comment or OP favorite (upvote) and the Kbin user can see what account favorited / upvoted their comment or OP. Also if it’s from a Lemmy user by the way.

    Without the downvote button half of the fun is removed. Toxic is react with messages everytime there is a disagree. With downvotes I can tell you peaceful to go fuck yourself with a single anonymous press.
