Should social media platforms only allow upvotes or favorites?
As I understand it, Kbin doesn’t allow downvotes just like Mastodon. Users can only mark a comment or OP favorite (upvote) and the Kbin user can see what account favorited / upvoted their comment or OP. Also if it’s from a Lemmy user by the way.
Removing a downvote or dislike button is not going to solve anything. If - whatever media consumption - is not good or healthy for someone … stop using it and do something else. at least for a while. Up or down, both or none … someone on the internet is going to start arguing, being mean, will say something someone else isn’t going to like one way or an other.
