Well shit, assuming no one upvoted this one, it seems the way the instance handles the problem is just to turn your downvote into an upvote. I guess that’s better than letting the downvote go through.
You’re correct. I was using the Jebora app. Also does that mean I can’t downvote on an instance where downvotes are not disabled? Not saying that I disagree with the beehaw policy, just curious.
Accidentally clicked downvote button.
Hmm. Downvotes aren’t enabled on this instance; you shouldn’t even be seeing a downvote button.
They might be using Jeroba, which still displays the button, but when you try to use it you’re informed that it doesn’t work.
I’m on lemmy.ml and jerboa and the downvote shows like it’s working on beehaw with no text saying it’s disabled.
Can you do me a favor and down vote this comment to see if the app lets you bypass the instance limitation?
When I press the down vote button in Jerboa, it flashes “downvotes_disabled” but still decrements the number.
Edit: Quiting the thread and coming back, it doesn’t retain the downvote so it looks like it is just the app temporarily showing it inaccurately.
Ok, I downvoted
Well, some unknown number of people upvoted that comment, so my test was useless.
Can you downvote this comment AND NO ONE ELSE READING THIS DO ANYTHING PLEASE!!
Thanks.
Lol, downvoted

Edit: thanks for the help!

It appears to be that way, yes.
