I think the real 'downvoting' is already being done without any need for another button. Whenever people don't upvote that automatically dictates if something was liked or not. If something is not appreciated it will not have many votes and consequentially will not grow. I don't think there is any need to downgrade even more with a downvote button. For me is much more important to have a flag button to report something on the platform if it's wrong or doesn't follow the rules.
No platform should give that level of power/responsibility to any user with the downvote button. It would be much more productive if every channel elected some moderators and they could then do that 'filter' work of downvoting if needed. Without having any grudges or hatred throw that person or their comments and just use that if they didn't follow the rules or disrespect someone.
