I had forgotten how great it is to see the number of downvotes (lemmy.world)

I've been so used to judging a post just by its popularity on reddit, but it's actually so much more useful to have an idea of the downvote ratio. I'm glad we have that here.

It was a scandal when it disappeared from YouTube, but I didn't realize it was missing from Reddit too for much longer!

personal opinion: not having downvote is the same as a participation trophy... pointless and hurts the original idea of "upvoting" (or the winner trrophy) just because a lot of people cannot handle the reality of the world.... just sad :(
