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.)
Is this a reference to something new somewhere I’m not aware of?
No, I already think twice before downvoting.
Maybe
The vast, vast majority of votes are up votes already and instances can disable down votes. Why discourage down votes on instances that use them?
This seems like a solution in search of a problem.
Yes
Lol, I literally spent an entire day searching the web to find a fix for RE4 crack on Steamdeck, nothing will stop me.
I “sideload” (aka: install), I flash custom ROMS, and I’m even using Tor right now, takes like 10 seconds longer to load and I still deal with it.
