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?

      Turns out Avelon has a “Show Downvotes” option that you can turn off for any instance, available in the free features:

      Only thing I’m not sure about with it so far is how to attach images to posts. Maybe I just haven’t found it, or it’s a “pro” option, but I switched back to Memmy for this reply, since it’s fast and uses imgur for the image hosting.

      I think you’d have to be on a downvote-disabled server.

      Memmy doesn’t seem to actually have a setting for it (that I can find), so I guess it just automatically does it.

      Voyager has the options “Separate / Total / Hide”, so you could hide the votes altogether on a server with downvotes enabled, but would have to be on a server with them disabled for you to see “Total” votes without downvotes.

      Don’t know about other apps.

      I’ve been trying out the newly updated Avelon app today, and it also seems to automatically hide downvotes on -disabled servers.

      It’s free with some features limited to a pro version (I don’t know pricing yet but there’s a lifetime non-subscription option), but the layout is pretty nice so far, you may want to check it out.

      edit: btw, it’s worth clarifying that by “hide downvotes”, for a -disabled server that just means hiding a column of 0’s, they aren’t registered on the server from anywhere.
