Not moving the goalposts but I meant Lemmy in general, not beehaw, cause no downvotes

But I admit you supplied a link to my request. I stand.partially informed

Ah, so only beehaw prohibits downvotes, not other Lemmy instances. TIL.

I guess even what I showed you may have gone negative if downvotes were allowed. The person I was arguing with wasn't being nasty about it, just incredibly obstinate.

I worry about a return to Nazi style anti-semitism (though I hate Likud) which the polarized discussions are leading us towards. It is arrogant to think it could never happen again.

Some Lemmy instances have downvotes, some don't. It varies by instance. I think most instances have/allow downvotes. Beehaw & Blahaj are two bigger ones that don't that I can think of off of the top of my head.

Also agreed with your last bit. I'm nervous about it, too. I wish people would just be decent and... not suck, lol.
