dont take the down votes personally, stating your opinion online risks people disagreeing. That’s all the down votes mean is people saying they disagree. it’s not a great look to add an edit complaining about downvotes. if they hurt too much maybe move to an instance that doesn’t have down votes like blahaj.zone, i find it very peaceful to not be able to see downvotes and let’s me worry less about stating my opinion on things.
also yeah I disagree with your comment but I can’t downvote from Blahaj ;)
I have no idea if “feddiquette” is a thing but “downvote poor quality comments, not opinions that you disagree with” is pretty fundamental to how downvotes should be used. My feelings remain unhurt but I will call out shitty behavior.
You think using a platform as it’s been designed is shitty behavior?
The platform has been designed to allow downvotes. If people downvote for shitty reasons, then yes, I think they’re being shitty. The platform only dictates functionality, but humans dictate what’s a good use of that functionality. Downvoting well-formed statements of opinion just because you disagree with them stifles discussion, which kind of defeats the entire purpose of making a discussion platform. Or, put another way, it’s shitty.
Yeah true. Welcome to the Internet
I don’t think that was ever true even on Reddit. You can’t control how people choose to use their vote and I feel that is how things should be.
