Thats what lemmy exists for… Not every platform needs voting. For microblogs, which usually represent and individual person, having voting would be a horrible idea because it would allow for brigading of small peoples platforms. With a few hundred people you could make sure that specific accounts or groups of people never reach “top”.

but that doesn’t help the next person. plus a downvote is good feedback, so we know what we wrote is considered unworthy or unhelpful by others whatever their reasons might be

Yeah, good thing you don’t have to worry about brigading on Lemmy.

You can, but its not a platform built around individuals, so its harder or just less impactful to bully individuals. If you try to brigade a community, then you are immediately up against everyone that likes that community so its just a system thats more resistant to bullshit.
