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!

    It’s something that can be configured, at least at the server level, which is cool.

    I’m running my own personal instance, and I’m keeping downvotes enabled. It’s something that I’d really like to see, personally, but I have absolutely no judgement or concern for instances that choose to disable downvoting.

    I do wonder if that’s something that can be managed at the community level, though. I can definitely imagine some communities opting to disable downvoting, if their server admin(s) allowed it.
