Should social media platforms only allow upvotes or favorites?
As I understand it, Kbin doesn’t allow downvotes just like Mastodon. Users can only mark a comment or OP favorite (upvote) and the Kbin user can see what account favorited / upvoted their comment or OP. Also if it’s from a Lemmy user by the way.
I’m pretty sure downvotes are also public on Kbin based on https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/455
Lemmy also stores the values of who upvoted/downvoted, but it’s not exposed to the UI.
