Looks like it's still in the planning stages. But looks like a cool project.

My problem is what others described: downvoting without actionable feedback.

This is exactly why I prefer instances that have downvotes disabled.

Yeah, I am still of the opinion that downvotes can be an important source of signal, but given the prevalence of "I don't like this, therefore I don't like you, here is my downvote", I'm starting to reconsider it.

In my ideal world we would get rid of up/downvotes and just use emoji reactions as a multi-dimensional form of evaluating content quality.
