No, there are several reasons why Web2 social networks removed the downvote feature. The primary goal of social networks is to foster a positive environment, and by eliminating downvotes, they aim to reduce negativity, such as trolling or targeted attacks. **It's better to refrain from UPVOTING if you don't like an answer rather than DOWNVOTING it.**
I actually disagree with this for text based social media. Downvotes create echo chambers. You either conform to the opinion of the loudest (extremist) people or get downvoted for everything you post. Just look at Reddit, for example. It's a hellhole.
