Why are they disallowed? And more importantly, why is this not transparent in the pinned post about Lemmy.one as a rule?

I was blindsided by this when I saw another user mention it, and while I enjoy Lemmy.one very much, I'm considering moving on because of this. I rarely, very rarely, down-vote, but at times it's handy to push down misinformation or adverse content.

It feels a bit too much like YouTube and the removal of the dislike button to me. What are other's thoughts?

There are probably a lot of answers to your question on this thread, but let me ask YOU a question:

99% of Lemmy instances have downvotes. This instance doesn't, and doesn't even let you create communities, so you would need to browse federated content anyway (instead of local).

So... why don't you just create an account literally anywhere else?
