First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

About a decade ago it was pretty common for subreddits to "disable" downvotes. It was just a css hack so nothing but a cosmetic change, but I remember people saying similar things.

As I understand it, on lemmy it's kind of the opposite. I'm not on beehaw so I can still see the downvote button, but it does nothing if I click it.

That's good to know, I wasn't sure how interacting with the downvote button would work cross-instance.
