It’s supposed to be that way, but Lemmy doesn’t always follow that system.
I’m fine with or without a voting system. It does seem to me that the instances which don’t allow downvotes seem a little bit better behaved though.

What are you talking about? Was that reply meant for someone else? I didn’t bring anything up about donald trump or astroturing. I saw a discussion and posted a comment about up/down votes. Not sure what you are talking about.
There are also some sensitive users who just go thru and downvote everything a poster posts, just because they have a personal grudge with poster.
Plenty of people on Lemmy agree that serial downvoters being banned from a community isn’t a bad thing.
If one doesn’t like a community, they can always just block it, rather than make it a mission to downvote every single thing in that community. IMHO, some people take lemmy way too seriously and get kinda unhealthy about it.
Like anything, a system can be used for good or used for bad.
Ya bring up some really good points.
