We Need Downvotes on Lemmy.one (lemmy.one)

Really loving the new experiences here on Lemmy.one. But I’m seeing many subs with off-topic posts. Community downvotes will help overworked mods find and remove such posts. I understand no one likes to be downvoted but it’s a necessary tool for our community and only helps users understand and refine what and where they are to be posting their content.

If people can upvote, won't the most interesting responses rise to the top anyway? Instead of it having to be an upvote or a downvote, you can choose not to respond.

Sorry but upvote/like only communities suck. There is no feedback loop. You end up with corporate properties, cinematic universes, NSFW content, and conspiracies floating to the top.
