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.

    Kbin does have downvotes like Lemmy.

      Yeah, this seems like such an odd claim, because all one has to do is go to Kbin.social and the downvote buttons are right there.

      It’s even possible on Kbin to see who upvoted and who downvoted.
