Can confirm that Hexbear does not support downvoting.

FYI, there are instances on which down votes are disabled. Reddthat, for example. I can't see or make downvotes on this profile.

I think Reddthat enabled downvotes a little while back. I still don't use them, because I prefer the "upvote only method... rather than downvote, I'll just comment why I disagree or ignore entirely. I feel it encourages discussion to not be able to downvote

Still disabled.

And I like it. I agree with you, it encourages me to ignore the bad faith trolls and the bigots quicker. I apply a user tag to them and move on without getting bogged down into reddit-style fights.

Oh, I didn't realize that

On .ml it shows me a nice overview of votes in both ways
