Turn off Downvote. Lemmy have some quirky user where they will lurk all the time and downvote content that doesn’t fit their own preference. Like, what are your purpose? If you don’t like seeing that language why not turn it off? Why not scroll past the topic you don’t like or don’t matter to you? It chase away a lot of people because they feels unwelcome.
These quirks is also the reason it’s hard to recommend lemmy to my acquaintance and friends.

How could they know how downvotes are supposed to be used if there’s no beginners’ course that explains how?
When someone uses downvotes against the rules, their downvotes should be devalued.
Personally wouldn’t want the downvote removed, it’s a good indicator for things like spam posts etc. Better to have those down voted than not to imo.
Lemmy has this functionality, you just need to join a server that enabled it.
