It’s the best of all worlds: some instance admins have disabled them, and PieFed offers CSS to filter out their display for an individual user. It’s nice to have choices - i.e. it is there for those who want them, and they can be not there for those who do not (but if you want other people to not have the option to do it to you, then that gets back to moving to an instance that chooses that for its members).
Oh, also PieFed allows mods to disable them on a per-community basis. I am not sure how viewing posts from a Lemmy instance would interrelate there - usually the host instance the community is on controls such matters, but I don’t truly know for certain that it works that way.
Honestly downvotes should be removed. They were originally to combat spam, but that’s not really a thing in Lemmy

piefed is sounding better and better.
just wish there was a way to transfer communities and such
If by chance you mean communities you moderate, I think there is a button to do that when you view a community on a remote instance.
Not sure what the procedure is like otherwise as I’ve never used it myself.
It is indeed. Even perhaps for users of Lemmy, when the community is hosted on a PieFed instance.
