Just out of sheer laziness?
- No effect on my decision to downvote. I rarely downvote anyway, so the extra second it takes isn’t much effort. 
- Not for me. - I try not to downvote, either because it’s someone else’s (different) opinion, or because a reply would be more effective. - When a downvote is actuallu warranted, the extra step is minor. - Still, I quite like it. The effort delta between up and down votes acts as a reminder that we are better off building each other up, rather than tearing each other down. 
- What interface/appnare you using? On boost its exactly the same process for upvotes or downvotes. I don’t think an extra step would make any difference, I don’t downvote very often and when I do it’s because I think it’s worth doing. - I just found out you can downvote by sliding to the right on a comment. I’m still figuring out Lemmy - It took me quite a while to dial in the swipes just right for me. I ended up getting rid of all the downvotes shortcuts because I kept activating them by accident (I couldn’t really far while I’m reading comments and deciding if I want upvote or not at the end.)  
 
- Well OP isn’t using Piefed but you can choose not to federate votes by default as a user settings option, and then you’d have to hold down the vote button to select a federated vote option instead. 
 
- Is this a reference to something new somewhere I’m not aware of? 
- No, I already think twice before downvoting. 
- No, I use the swipe on the comment - Oh, never knew that was a thing. Guess that’s why it was a stupid question 
 
- My client it is just a tap then another tap. So no. 
- Lol, I literally spent an entire day searching the web to find a fix for RE4 crack on Steamdeck, nothing will stop me. - I “sideload” (aka: install), I flash custom ROMS, and I’m even using Tor right now, takes like 10 seconds longer to load and I still deal with it. 
- Yes 
- No 
- Maybe 
- The vast, vast majority of votes are up votes already and instances can disable down votes. Why discourage down votes on instances that use them? - This seems like a solution in search of a problem. - I don’t think this was a suggestion, just a showerthought based on existing mobile app behavior
