You’re getting downvoted but, as a leftists I’d still say yes kinda lol

Just look at the removed comments from political communities in the modlog. Every non-liberal view is swiftly silenced. It’s even in the rules of many big instances, written in a ulterior fashion, so as to not rouse suspicion

Yes I think so. The large majority prefers downvoting, and that’s why the largest instances have it enabled.

You can still join an instance that has it disabled though. I personally strongly prefer no downvotes and that’s why I’m on Lemmy.today.

What is “liberal” in your understanding? Cause that term is like Plasticine.
