does HN even have a downvote button?

  For comments, yes, for stories, only flag but not downvote. But both flag and downvote are karma-gated (I think the threshold is 500 for both, but I could be wrong.)

  Yes, but only for comments. And it's limited not only by karma, but time: It's only available for a rather short time after a comment was posted. Dunno how long exactly, but feels like something between... 12 and 24 hours?
