    Lemmy does not have upvote and downvote buttons

    But… it does?

      Depends on the instance. Lemmy.One has downvoting turned off, for example.

      (edit) Also, there are differences between posts and stories/blogs on the fediverse. On the stories/blogs you get an option to favorite/boost instead of upvote or downvote.
      And since Lemmy/Kbin/Mastodon all deal with it in slightly different ways, maybe they just got confused.

      as a longtime mastodon user, tech articles about the fediverse are often very confused and under researched. it’s like tech reporters take one look at the websites and their brains shut off- if they ever even looked at them to begin with.
