Yonatan Zunger, the lead engineer on Google+, once wrote a post about the research Google did to decide that downvotes don't foster healthy discussions. Sadly his post has been lost to time, but I found it pretty convincing. It's also refreshing not to feel the need to find and downvote every comment in a heated thread that's, racist, fascist, transphobic, etc.
Reporting is a much better method for moderation on Lemmy anyway. The mods here seem to actually care a lot more than they do in more centralized spaces.
