Just out of sheer laziness?
Not for me.
I try not to downvote, either because it’s someone else’s (different) opinion, or because a reply would be more effective.
When a downvote is actuallu warranted, the extra step is minor.
Still, I quite like it. The effort delta between up and down votes acts as a reminder that we are better off building each other up, rather than tearing each other down.

What interface/appnare you using? On boost its exactly the same process for upvotes or downvotes. I don’t think an extra step would make any difference, I don’t downvote very often and when I do it’s because I think it’s worth doing.

I just found out you can downvote by sliding to the right on a comment. I’m still figuring out Lemmy

It took me quite a while to dial in the swipes just right for me. I ended up getting rid of all the downvotes shortcuts because I kept activating them by accident (I couldn’t really far while I’m reading comments and deciding if I want upvote or not at the end.)

Well OP isn’t using Piefed but you can choose not to federate votes by default as a user settings option, and then you’d have to hold down the vote button to select a federated vote option instead.
