Why aren't downvotes possible on hexbear?

I just downvoted your comment.
#FAQ
#What does this mean?
The amount of points on your comment and Hexbear account has decreased by one.
#Why did you do this?
There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:
• Rudeness towards other Hexbears
• Spreading incorrect information
• Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.
#Am I banned from the Hexbear?
No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.
#I don't believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?
Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Hexbear PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.
#How can I prevent this from happening in the future?
Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on Hexbear.net. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Hexbear is a privilege, not a right.
But nobody can downvote 🤣
You can functionally accomplish the same thing by upvoting every other post.
