  My instance tried to disable downvotes and it was a fiasco.

  So yeah a lot of people are keen to remove user feedback in any way possible in the hope to lessen toxicity until they notice that it’s a double edged sword. People can’t dislike stuff just to troll or for bad reasons. But people couldn’t even downvote a spam bot and you essentially are at the mercy of anybody if a mod is not close by ready to act. Likes and dislikes are a way to outsource moderation to the users. So either X has a secret army of moderators or that will just result in a lot more trash being on the foreground.

  No likes on X means that the spammers, racists, stalker will essentially be at the same level of visibility than any other user.

  I’m sure that will go just fine…

  Reports aren’t anonymous in lemmy. Stupidest solution ever.
