It's not a "no downvoat" policy, they discourage using the downvoat button as a proxy to "disagree". I've chosen not to downvoat at all specifically because it doesn't convey useful information here. Downvotes would be useful if they were reserved for spam, or off topic, or illegal posting, instead it tends to cultivate a circle-jerk because people who disagree with any of voat's golden cows are downvoated so bad that they can't really participate in the site.
