Why do you care about up votes and down votes? There is no karma tracking here
I don't care about Karma, but to see a 0 after spending an hour on something means that it will not get seen (when I thought people would enjoy it). So in a way it invalidates my effort, and causes me to reevaluate what people would like to see (and, it seems my content may not be it).
Might be an idea to make your lemmy home on an instance that doesn't allow down votes (those exist). People on other servers might still downvote it, but you won't notice.
In fact, I think I'll go do that myself.
