It does make you wonder if some of the instances were onto something with getting rid of the downvote button. They say it promotes discussion over just downvoting without any information as to why it was bad.

The flip side would be that it allows misinformation to not be shown as such as evidently.

I don't think that getting rid of downvotes is a good idea, it's a great tool, just a lot of people use it incorrectly
