You can disagree
There are Like votes, and Disagree votes. Disagree is not a downvote; it's just disagreeing. You as a blog owner, can also use Bury votes to move well-intended but not so useful comments like "Thanks" and "Me too" downwards. The bury votes are invisible, so you won't hurt anyone's feelings.
If you outgrow your blog
If your visitors want a real discussion forum for talking with each other — then you can use Talkyard; Talkyard is not just blog comments, but also community software, where your visitors can discuss ideas and news and help each other.
Copy-paste HTML tags, to get started,
or follow the instructions that will appear for
Ghost, Hugo, Gatsby, Jekyll, Hexo, Zola.
Time saving features you've never seen before (work in progress).
You can also create a community for your website,
integrated with the blog comments.
