Personally, I prefer Lemmy over Kbin because I hate karma and reputation points. I do not want to worry about downvotes, and Lemmy feels so fresh. I can post things that will receive lots of downvotes and not need to worry about losing karma.

Would separate votes for agreeing/disagreeing, and separate for relevance work?
My local newspaper attempted “well argumented” and “agree/disagree” scores years ago. Later they removed the “agree” score, and I recall some accusations of orwellian moderation, but I think this is a cool idea that deserves more experimentation.
Also, clearly naming the upvotes and downvotes might affect their usage.
Maybe something like voting “funny” or “useful” etc. like in Steam reviews. That could also help with the meme response sorting problem.
