Why can't I downvote or see downvotes?
Silly question, but I haven't seen these since signing up.
I checked my settings, but maybe I missed something.
Syndicated from the fediverse. Read and engage on the original instance.

Oh dang, I was told it didn't matter which instance I joined. 😭
I chose it from some join Lemmy website.
Nothing on that website or on the instance sign up page shows the settings or permissions of the instance. It would be nice to view those before signing up.
Also even for accounts that are more than six days old, that's the beauty of the fediverse. Your instance does something you don't like, hit the bricks.
Yup. There are tools to help migrate subscribed communities from one account to another. So it’s just a matter of losing your comments/post history, which I personally see as a benefit anyways; I used to nuke my accounts and make a new one every year or two on Reddit, just to avoid building up PII that could be compiled to dox me.
