Next release has it I believe.
… doesn’t that just mean that only non-LemmyNSFW users will be able to downvote?
It also means that you will only see the downvotes from your instance. So I would not be able to see your downvotes, because you are from kbin.social.
If you are on a large instance, like lemmy.world, you’ll still see a lot of downvotes.
I’m on Beehaw, which doesn’t allow downvotes. If you downvote any of my comments on Beehaw I’ll literally never know unless I log in from another instance. Beehaw also won’t federate your downvotes to other instances, either, so only other users on the same instance will see them.
It’s a pretty great system, imho. Downvotes haven’t been useful since Digg collapsed and Rediquette went out the window.
Glad to see they did this. It seemed like downvotes were driving away some users.
It would be interesting to see how a larger instance functions without up or down votes. Similar to a traditional forum.
Hexbear has been doing pretty well for itself.
No idea too shitty for Hexbear
Is that even possible? Like, I would still be able to down vote from a different instance?
You will be able to downvote, but if the community in question is hosted on an instance that has disabled downvotes, your downvote won’t federate to anyone else. The only people who see it will be people on the same instance as you.
For users of an instance that has disabled downvotes, their timelines silently drop all downvotes, so those users see the fediverse without the impact of any downvotes, irrelevant of where they came from or what other people see.
You can. Your downvote are not federated though. That means your instance knows about them, but can’t send it to lemmynsfw.com since it doesn’t want to know. Consequently no other instance will know about your downvote since they ask lemmynsfw.com for who voted and who didn’t and not your instance.
