Why are they disallowed? And more importantly, why is this not transparent in the pinned post about Lemmy.one as a rule?

I was blindsided by this when I saw another user mention it, and while I enjoy Lemmy.one very much, I'm considering moving on because of this. I rarely, very rarely, down-vote, but at times it's handy to push down misinformation or adverse content.

It feels a bit too much like YouTube and the removal of the dislike button to me. What are other's thoughts?

I figured it out when I tried to downvote a post with racist language and opinion. In cases like that I would like the ability to downvote, but I understand how it can be abused. I ended up just reporting the post because that's probably the better way to take out the trash. The mods at lemmy.world probably didn't notice, but it made me feel a little better.

Your message is similar to the one where I learned about the restriction. I can imagine this will occur more over time.
