I ran across that magazine recently and every post is transphobic af. Does that fit within kbin.social's code of conduct?

Then you should actually upvote it to encourage the discussion instead of being the usual bigoted troll.

    You can advocate for free speech while downvoting the content of the speech. That's the whole principle of free speech. It's not just for the content we upvote; it's specifically for the content we downvote.

    No. The vote buttons are not meant to be used as your personal like & dislike button and you full well know that already too.

    You're talking about old-school reddiquette, which even reddit itself forgot eons ago: upvote well thought-out comments even if you disagree with them. And I actually do that to a degree, even if I dislike the author's point. But if I think the comment is wrong in some way then I downvote it. That's not to say I want the author silenced, just that the down button is there to be used sometimes.
