Omg there's even a downvote counter!
Someone actually downvoted you to "test" that. The reddit mentality is already starting. Lol
Due to the live updating of vote counts, I just watched someone downvote, then remove their downvote a few times to test it.
There's no accumulated karma score though. People should be less sensitive about downvotes and I'm hoping it will mitigate low effort karma-seeking content, at least somewhat.
Actually, that raises a point - do upvotes and downvotes here affect post visibility? Much as Reddit has a lot of karma-whoring, it was still useful that a lot of the best content was surfaced on the front page. Is Lemmy the same, or does it just put the newest stuff up top?
