Or you could switch to a server that doesn't have downvotes rather than everyone else changing for your personal preferences.

No, are you do insecure about your posts and comments that someone downvoting you makes you uncomfortable?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

I would not like that. I say this as someone who gets downvoted to negatives ~40% of the time.

Just see how well it functioned on this post - most people do not want that.

Why not just deactivate all votes. Seeing having voting makes Lemmy more like Reddit. Also deactivate all votes will help to have more discussions. Due to users can't just downvote you and call it a day. They have to tell you why and how you're wrong.
