Downvoting doesn't really suppress anything.

Also you can effectivly disable it by switching to a frontend that hides votes and sorting by new. I think that's even the default for some instances.

I think you fell for the comment that would be guaranteed to be downvoted.

This, and moreover some instances don't dederate downvotes.

I'm on Kbin so I only see downvotes from other people on kbin.

People on Beehaw don't see downvotes from anyone because it's not a thing there.
