i can assure you that will never happen site-wide . iirc lemmy has a per-community feature that allows you to disable downvotes? i could have dreamt that tho lol
we didn't actually hide them intentionally. it was something we meant to handle properly in the redesign but we were migrating to react at the same time that was happening. it really was just a big miss. there was a lot going on right then and we only had one FE dev at the time. we should have an update out later today that adds these back!
also, i checked, looks like that's an instance-wide feature, not a per community one. it's not something we will ever enable on our instance. that's not even something up for debate.
I'm glad you're fixing it, but it's reasonable to assume no one would have without this thread and people expressing their discontent with the issue, which is why these threads are important.
I agree with you, but the tone of this thread is incredibly reminiscent of the abuse we often receive in our day jobs which is really demoralizing. :(
we use this site too. we also hate dealing with some of the same things annoying like that live update bug that erased your comments or the live re-sorting. aaahh those are infuriating to think about
The more you piss off people by ruining the only good things this site has over Reddit the more people will continue to leave.
Put the downvote display back, not this baby proof "only upvotes" trash.
oh the number displayed atm is actually the total score of the post, not just upvotes
I know that. I'm talking about awoo's idea of completely removing downvotes.

Shouldn't happen anywhere, and hiding downvotes is a step towards it.
