If the numbers were pointless, there would be no reason to disable them.
It’s working pretty well. Only complaints are people who didn’t read and see it’s disabled.
Why would you join an instance with downvotes explicitly stated not to be in use in multiple places, to just complain and ask to change it when you can easily join others that have downvotes?
That is true but not really relevant to what I said. By saying that it’s working pretty well, you’re in fact confirming my point that the presence or absence of downvotes matters. If they truly didn’t matter, Beehaw would have no reason to disable them. Or, if Beehaw wanted to be a lightweight experience with no unnecessary fluff, it would remove both downvotes and upvotes.
I don’t think the idea is that it doesn’t matter, I think the idea is that if you disagree with someone, you should put some effort into it. On Reddit, the downvote function only really works to hide and punish opinions that the community sees as bad, which doesn’t really contribute very much in that respect. Upvotes work for indicating agreement because if you agree with a point you probably don’t have much to add to it, and if you do, you can both upvote and reply.
