Clicking and holding still works but it's cumbersome.
Nope. Mine worked.

MODERATORS
Looks like I'm a special case, then.
Maybe because you're too new, or maybe because you have done too much down voting in the 5 hours you've had your current account. I can't recall exactly how the software works, but I think the software may be moderating persistent down voters. It has assigned you a low reputation score.
I did immediately start shaming my previous instance once I got here, Lemmy.world who are promoting and supporting ML's current funding campaign, so that certainly would make sense.
Is this the only reason you joined this server? To harass lemmy.world?
No, I'm planning to hang out here for awhile, but as like a side objective I certainly would like to disrupt the funding campaign for people who don't respect life or freedoms, funding campaign of those who promote war and genocide.
I deleted my account on World.
What options are you looking for? Controlling what downvotes to accept is not done at an individual level, it is either done instance-wide (blahaj disables downvotes for example), or at a community level by the community mods. This is the list of options that is available to them for their community:
No, I mean I'm only allowed to upvote things. I'll post an image once it finishes loading on the server side, for some reason they take a long time to upload or delete.
Done, image added to body of the post.
I see now. I will try to take a look into the code and see what could be the issue.
It's probably because of my activity, but lmk if you figure out a timeframe for when or if it changes.
Alright, you sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole and I learned something about PieFed today because of it. Apparently, the downvote button isn't shown for a number of reasons, but in your case the reason it isn't shown is because users with a total "reputation" (upvotes received - downvotes received) that is too low lose the ability to downvote. Your reputation is currently too low for the downvote button right now.
Reputation as a metric is intentionally something that a user is unable to see. That is reserved for admins to help identify potentially toxic users. My guess as for the intention of a feature like this is to limit the spread of negative influence that a (potentially) toxic user can cause from extensive downvoting.
As far as I can tell, the only other feature that you are locked out of with a low reputation like this is the ability to send private messages (definitely a spam/toxicity measure). Other than that, your account is fully featured.
