Thank you for your input, it’s very appreciated!

As for keeping down votes, I’d be reluctant to mess with a system that works as well as it seems to.

There is a toggle in the admin settings to enable/disable downvotes, and several instances do disable them.

This hides the button and the results from the UI - other instances can still vote, but it’s not displayed. This change would be easy to implement and revert messing up anything. Personally, I do think that having up/down votes is a useful metric more often than it is abused. Disabling down-votes might be a good match for an instance dedicated to, for example, sharing one’s own art, as users might feel more comfortable sharing in such a space.
