For some reason posts on our instance have recently gotten more downvotes from outside instances than usual and many posts look like this:

I personally don't like the idea of disabling downvotes but if the feature is mostly going to be used by outside users because crypto is "le bad" we might as well turn it off.

No, please do not deactivate downvote functionality.

(I say this as someone who has received a lot of downvotes; they're useful feedback that I appreciate)

Also, monero.town is currently a recommended instance on awesome-lemmy-instances (at the time there's only 7 recommended instances, and monero.town is one). If this instance deactivates downvote functionality, it will no longer be recommended as downvote functionality is one of the requirements for recommendation.

Valid point with the instance list.
