Should I disable downvotes?
It often makes me sad seeing some posts receiving downvotes, even though I know it's from random people across Lemmy instances who probably aren't furries.
I could disable downvotes which would make it so that they're ignored by the instance and the count would only reflect the amount of upvotes. But, that also means that Yiffit users wouldn't be able to use downvotes anywhere else.
What do you think?

There's a tagging system. If something is tagged with context I'm not in to, I leave it be. If it's not, and I end up seeing it, then I see nothing wrong with downvoting. It isn't a personal attack. That said, tag usage would make my own downvite usage unnecessary because while I have no problems with other people's tastes, I am not obligated to enjoy what repulses me personally.
