I think the Blahaj instances are just focused on creating a safe space for trans and other minority users, and downvotes are one of the targeted ways bigots can harass, so it’s just disabled for that reason.

It’s just nice to have a space where we don’t have to worry about it.

Downvotes would add extra moderation effort and since the instance is only staffed by a single person it’s just easier not to worry about it.

I can’t, my instance only has upvotes.
