I’m not from Lemmy.one, but I was wondering what you think of not having downvotes. Do you like having the ability to downvote, or not being able to downvote and why?

I prefer it, because something that regularly happens on reddit is browsing through the replies and finding one that’s been hidden by downvotes because it contained an alternative, non-misinformation solution to a problem (etc) that simply didn’t toe the line everyone else was promoting, as if there’s always one correct way to approach a situation.
