I try not to downvote, either because it's someone else's (different) opinion, or because a reply would be more effective.
When a downvote is actuallu warranted, the extra step is minor.
Still, I quite like it. The effort delta between up and down votes acts as a reminder that we are better off building each other up, rather than tearing each other down.
What interface/appnare you using? On boost its exactly the same process for upvotes or downvotes. I don't think an extra step would make any difference, I don't downvote very often and when I do it's because I think it's worth doing.
It took me quite a while to dial in the swipes just right for me. I ended up getting rid of all the downvotes shortcuts because I kept activating them by accident (I couldn't really far while I'm reading comments and deciding if I want upvote or not at the end.)
Well OP isn't using Piefed but you can choose not to federate votes by default as a user settings option, and then you'd have to hold down the vote button to select a federated vote option instead.

Not for me.

I just found out you can downvote by sliding to the right on a comment. I’m still figuring out Lemmy

Is this a reference to something new somewhere I’m not aware of?
Nemo@slrpnk.net · 7 pts · 338d
No, I already think twice before downvoting.
DirigibleProtein@aussie.zone · 6 pts · 338d
No, I use the swipe on the comment

Oh, never knew that was a thing. Guess that’s why it was a stupid question

The vast, vast majority of votes are up votes already and instances can disable down votes. Why discourage down votes on instances that use them?
This seems like a solution in search of a problem.

I don't think this was a suggestion, just a showerthought based on existing mobile app behavior

Lol, I literally spent an entire day searching the web to find a fix for RE4 crack on Steamdeck, nothing will stop me.
I "sideload" (aka: install), I flash custom ROMS, and I'm even using Tor right now, takes like 10 seconds longer to load and I still deal with it.
