I was somewhat against removing downvotes when we initially did that, but wow was I wrong. Terrible reddit-tier feature that needs to be trashed.
Don’t worry! Downvotes are only for flagging content that doesn’t belong here. It will never be used as an “I disagree” button.
This is also why we at Reddit don’t have a report button, because the free marketplace of ideas will naturally sort out posts and comments that are appropriate. Wait, I’m receiving a new update, you DO HAVE A BUTTON TO REPO—

But then how will I feel my comrades hands on my shoulders telling me I made a good post?
