I don't think there is a downvote button on Hacker News, I think other votes just got more upvoted :p

  You've been on Hacker News for over 800 days and have over 300 karma so I'm surprised you don't know this, but... You get a downvote button if you have sufficient karma (likely 500, since this has been verified in the past and I haven't heard otherwise.) You can verify if you were downvoted based on looking at the points assigned to your own post generally based on if it was greyed out.

  There is indeed a "downvote" button. I'm yet to exercise mine.
