Today after updating Voyager the downvote button was gone. What is the reason for removing it? Is lemmy going the way of YouTube?

Thanks it’s not there either, but I just found out that lemmy.world disabled downvotes.
I’m on lemmy.world. This thread is on lemmy.world I have just downvoted you successfully as far as I can see.
That is bizzare!
You say that you found out that lemmy.world had disabled downvotes. Where did you you find that out? I’d certainly seen nothing myself here - I know that some instances have - and can certainly see and use the downvote arrows.
I found out that I can upvote using the big arrow on the right and small arrow on the left (with the count). While the downvote arrow disappeared from the right the small one on the right remained. When I tap that it tells me that administrators disabled it.
Edit: “Downvotes have been disabled by server admins.”
Could you explain your edit? My down vote button has also disappeared and I want to know if it is due to voyager or my instance.
The edit is the message that appears when I tap the little downvote arrow on the left that shows how many people downvoted the post/comment. It used to work before.
Lemmy World is a very opinionated instance :)
Yes, I’m not sure if I want to stay on it since it can have opinions and I can only have positive ones.
