Lol. That post made me laugh. One of the main reasons I never up/down a comment is because the arrows are too easy to misfire.

Mine doesn't have a downvote button. How can I fix this? I kind of like only being able to upvote, but I want to know what is wrong to be missing it

Accounts with low karma are limited.

Ideally this should solve the "mass downvoting to impose your pet echo chamber" problem that can happen in other online communities.

With the ongoing fall of reddit if I were an admin i would propose a limit based on account age, in order to not shift the common etiquette suddenly.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'd rather take speculation than a lack of an answer or the umpteenth "we hear you and we are working on it" answer only to wait years for nothing. I wish Stylish worked on Firefox mobile. These are issues I can solve myself if the right tools existed (at least, the ones that exist on desktop).

Well, I use Stylus, and it works fine on Android (but you need to use a "custom addon collection" to add it, which is only available on Beta and Nightly). I see no reason why Stylish wouldn't also work. https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/09/29/expanded-extensio...

Well that's very out of the way, can't believe that existed for 2 and a half years. I'll look into it.
