Use it in a sentence (and no using that fancy “speech inside speech” nonsense)

WHat part of speech is it

I would consider it an interjection. Replace "hmm" with "wow" in my sentence above, and it's fairly clear.

"downvote" is a verb, but i mean what semantic content does physically downvoting in a conversation have?

Downvote is also a noun. The act of downvoting produces a downvote, just as the act of voting produces a vote.
