I’m searching around for a lemmy client to that has the option to hide downvotes altogether.
I don’t mind if downvotes are still counted on the instance side, i just don’t care.

Yes but often people just downvote stuff without saying anything to it. If they would put a comment there, it would at least be clear that they didnt read past the first line
if i dislike something, I don’t always want to have to explain myself. sometimes i just dislike something and want to show it by a simple click. specially on mobile I don’t want to write a comment each time. otherwise i would just stop voting completely instead of writing a comment each time i downvote something.
Sometimes others have already made a comment explaining your exact opinion of what you just downvoted, so instead of spamming more comments you can downvote one and upvote the other which explains your opinion.
Yes but this leads to people superficially reading and disliking.
So if it doesn’t get an explanation to you specifically, it’s “superficial”. The entitlement on some of y’all; gyatt…
I think that’s a better consequence than the alternative, which is that people stop downvoting spam because they’re tired of writing out “this is spam”, “this is unrelated”, “this is racist”, et cetera.
Most likely scenario is that the people who continue to downvote just comment a single letter or something to make their downvote count.
