Today after updating Voyager the downvote button was gone. What is the reason for removing it? Is lemmy going the way of YouTube?

    That’s an example of when it’s useful, but you probably understand the downsides of it also.

      A knife can cut onion, that’s an upside. A knife can cut my finger, that’s a downside. How do we make a knife that can cut onion but not my finger?

        In this case, I don’t need the knife. Problem solved.

        Sometimes you give up things because of bad side effects you don’t want to have.

        Maybe you want them, which is fine.
