Your partner/mom/cat has been kidnapped, and the only way to save them is to "write a comment that is guaranteed to get downvoted on Lemmy." What do you comment?

You can post anything and it will get down voted. Lemmy is as toxic as reddit and people use downvote as a tool to suppress what they don’t like, regardless of the merit of the comment.

I disagree. Downvoting…

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.
