Thanks to the admins for not enabling downvoting (reddthat.com)

Far too often, lately, I see lots of people worried about the number of downvotes, or making preliminary justifications and requests to not downvote particular posts.

Me? I don't have to think about any of that. The content of the posts and comments determines their quality, not some artificial number that only represents whether people dis/like something.

Edit: Wow, a lot of people from other instances seem really offended that I don't like downvoting and seem a bit confused that I'd be thanking my admins for something I appreciate.

If you like downvoting, you don't have to move here. Enjoy your instance's features. Welcome to the Fediverse.

FWIW, they are not counted at all, Lemmy drops the request before it makes it to the DB. So we (reddthat) have no way of knowing (from our side) if there are any down votes happening.
Which, depending on your point of view, could be a good or bad thing.
