Do you also downvote publications when you don’t understand them or only when you don’t agree / they don’t make you laugh / they don’t interest you?

What are the reasons for a downvote?

      Some instances have downvoting disabled. Beehaw.org for example.

      They’re trying to encourage positive communication, so they have it turned off. Upvotes only.

        And thats the reason why I chose another instance. I want to be able to downvote when people post terrible things. Who knows how long it will take for moderates to remove something, or if they will at all.

      this. the downvote should be strictly for comments and posts that don’t help engaging in a discussion. the whole website is built around this concept.
