By default, Lemmy allows downvotes globally. However, when a server disables downvoting, it is similar to using a feature that is usually reserved for enterprises and very small, non-federated communities.

If a user prefer to not see downvotes, they can disable it by his favourite client settings, but the rest of the community should not miss this functionality for the pleasure of few users.

      They do, but once you hop into the “local” view you see all of those posts. And the users, instead of blocking those communities as “content that is not relevant for me, but might be for someone else”, simply downvote the posts as a knee-jerk reaction.

      (Yup, communities. I typically shorten it to comms.)

                If you enjoy child rape and every single evil, since you worship the embodiment of evil, then sure, go ahead.

            Are you seriously too moronic to see how your toxicity towards one group of people is no different to other peoples toxicity to other people.

            Imagine how u would feel if i said “Palestinians trying to make themselves the victims at every chance they get?” Im guessing that would rightly piss you off? Equallity requires the equal treatment of all groups especially the ones you dont like. If u want a good reason for this there are 6million numbered historical examples.
