I see in instances like beehaw.org and lemmy.one that dislikes are disabled for bullying people. Do you think it is a good practice for mental health?

    Absolutely not. It is misleading like on YouTube. Before they removed downvotes everyone could see if a video is useful or not. “Best tips and tricks for car repair” … 15341 upvotes? Nice! Maybe it’s helpfu–… 98412 downvotes? Maybe not THAT helpful.

      it’s so nice being able to see actual downvote count again instead of total score as well. glad lemmy has no motivation to remove that at the moment [what was reddit’s reason? spam prevention? not worth it]
