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.

I agree with this sentiment, however wouldn't an actual text post saying it doesn't work with your version have been more beneficial than downvotes? I think that is a good example of why downvotes are, to me, the "lazy" option. Not having them means more direct engagement is required.
