It's not that I wanna get rid of downvotes, I think down voting is a good feature. It just feels like people are more downvote happy here, even though it doesn't mean anything. It's like instead of it not meaning anything making people use it less, it actually make some people use it more specifically because it "doesn't mean anything". I'm not sure if this is just mean people being negative or just trying to get their own post more attention, but I've definitely noticed it.
If it doesn't mean anything, maybe what you could do is charge your perspective and stop caring. I get downvoted all the time and it doesn't stop me.

I could also change my perspective and just delete this app and cut toxic unfriendly stuff out of my life and read more books, instead of changing my perspective just to fit in on the internet with strangers who don't and won't ever know meπ€·ββοΈ
