Currently downvotes are disabled here because I’m a big softie. But I have found myself missing them every now and again…

Should we enable downvotes on this instance? Why or why not?

I find downvotes very useful to make sure hateful or otherwise harmful content doesn't rise to the top, and I think that outweighs people overusing it where they disagree. That being said, the nice thing about federation is that I can just find another instance if y'all don't want it.

I think this is pretty persuasive. Thanks.
