I feel you. Ultimately this is a problem of community self-regulation. Users have to downvote inappropriate content, and mods have to remove it. If that's not done, the only thing you can really do is add the offending user to your block list or look for a community that functions better.
Although for the most part I have grown to appreciate the lack of possiblility to downvote on the instance I use, it really does get in the way of community self-regulation. I understand the argument that downvotes can, and have, led to echo chambers and piling on, but there has to be some middle ground.
Yeah, I actually migrated to a new instance today because of a few users who were seriously begging to be downvoted, and lemmy.one didn't allow it.
Way too many ignorant bigots hanging about to not downvote.
I just wanted make a similiar post on it on YSK
