I do kinda wonder if beehaw actually has downvotes not do anything for comment ranking and such, or if they just hid the button for it's users. Because I can still see a downvote button on beehaw communities, being from a different instance, and I often notice comments on that instance that do have a downvote or two, which seems to imply that it does actually record and send data about downvotes from other users
Disabling downvotes is a feature in the lemmy software afaik, but apparently it affects the users on that instance rather than its communities, which certainly seems like it should be the other way around.
That is hilariously bad design if it's actually the case
