We Need Downvotes on Lemmy.one (lemmy.one)

Really loving the new experiences here on Lemmy.one. But I’m seeing many subs with off-topic posts. Community downvotes will help overworked mods find and remove such posts. I understand no one likes to be downvoted but it’s a necessary tool for our community and only helps users understand and refine what and where they are to be posting their content.

I disagree. Initially, I thought lacking downvotes was an issue as well, but I’ve changed my thinking.

If it’s a post or comment I disagree with, I try to reconcile WHY I disagree, and then use that to participate in the discussion, as opposed to just dropping a downvote and moving on.

If it’s a post or comment that needs active intervention by a moderator, reporting it is the best solution anyway, not simply downvoting it.
