Lemmy does not have upvote and downvote buttons

Huh?

It feels really poorly researched. Like some instances disable downvotes like beehaw does but we still have upvoting.

I've been here for maybe a day now, so salt accordingly.
As far as I can tell, even though beehaw has downvotes disabled, since the instance I use has them enabled, I could still technically downvote you, at least in the UI.
You'd just never know and it would not show on your end or for anyone viewing from beehaw.org.
The part I'm not so sure about is if they would show for others on the same instance as me.
I think depending on where a third person would be viewing this thread from they would see different numbers of upvotes.
I certainly notice a few differences while reading from a different instance vs browsing the original instance directly.
Learning lemmy has been pretty interesting.

They would show for others on your instance, but not for people on other instances, so each instance will have a separate downvote counter.

Yeah it was poorly researched. I was also surprised they mentioned Discord which I thought was on the down and not on the up. No mention of Matrix either.

Have an upvote.

Maybe we call them something else and we just don’t realize it?

[–] GraceGH@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Have an antigravity arrow.

Is that not what I was supposed to be calling them?
