I take issue with this voting system, as it will be skewed in favour of a narrow win for the upvote result.
Downvoting the post decreases visibility in most sorting algorithms. I would be curious to see the results if the upvote and downvote options were reversed.
Until Lemmy implements polls, a better method would have been to have two comments under this post which would be voted on, rather than making the post itself the poll.
I don’t think lemmy has comment pinning (but i could be wrong) and that will cause the down vote comment to sink and it will cause more confusion. Besides this post is pinned .

Instances such as mine have blocked downvotes anyway. This system is definitely flawed.
