      Care to elaborate? Seems like a sensible change unless you’re in the business of selling dislikes.

        Without dislikes you don’t know if people just didn’t like the video or if it was unsuccessful because of the algorithm. Views or likes alone aren’t a clear answer.

            I meant as a user. Now you have no way to know if people liked a video. It could have many views because of advertising or being shown in a prominent place.

        right-wingers have monopolized dislikes since the very beginning, a lot of “people” will be against this change

          I feel like I’m seeing that effect here? I never noticed that lemmy broke out downvotes but here we are.
