A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

About a decade ago it was pretty common for subreddits to "disable" downvotes. It was just a css hack so nothing but a cosmetic change, but I remember people saying similar things.
As I understand it, on lemmy it's kind of the opposite. I'm not on beehaw so I can still see the downvote button, but it does nothing if I click it.
That's good to know, I wasn't sure how interacting with the downvote button would work cross-instance.
