dusk

my lemmy account is only 3 months old, I have no knowledge of the politics/squabbles between the instances, or even a decent understanding oh how it all works, so far it seems to integrate weirdly/awkwardly.

I only have about 30 subscriptions, 1/3 of them are slrpunk, with .ml, and .world making up a large portion of the remainder, that will no doubt change over time.

Yes

To be fair, the majority of articles these days are also busted, often deliberately so.

I went into settings, deselected 'federate votes' then looked it up to see what it means... and reselected it, didn't change anything else, didn't find anything that appeared to be to do with downvotes, but now I can downvote, for no apparent reason.

I'm on piefed.social, seemed a logical option, I did find it odd that out of the box they have lemmy.ml and quokk.au blocked, couldn't find out why, feel like I don't know something that others know

I have a lemmy.zip account as well, but it has been hitting errors recently, so I thought I would try piefed

Thank you, I will have a look in settings, it's needed because "Imo this shit is busted and dumb."

I'm new to piefed, I'm wondering why I don't have a downvote option?
