Morphology
downdoot = downvote (semi-transparent) = down + doot
The meaning is clearly modelled on 'downvote', but the playful replacement 'vote' → 'doot' is nonstandard and requires familiarity with internet slang.
Etymology
The word downdoot joins down meaning 'negative' or 'lower' and the playful internet sound doot that people use like the word downvote. So to downdoot something is to give it a negative rating or review online.
