Fair play to ya. permalink fedilink source parent [–] limelight79@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (3 children) There's definitely a "downvote if you disagree" ethos here. There's not even a pretense of "this contributes to the conversation, even if I disagree" reason for upvoting. I know this is how it worked in practice on reddit, but at least the rule was that you were supposed to upvote contributions and downvote things that didn't contribute, and at least a few people followed that rule (or maybe only me). I wouldn't be surprised if that drives some people away - they see a bunch of downvotes on their comments and think people don't want to hear from them (even if there are more upvotes than downvotes). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] livus@kbin.social 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) @limelight79 There’s definitely a “downvote if you disagree” ethos here. Is there? That's a shame. I'm on kbin and we don't federate downvotes so I don't see any of the downvotes the lemmings are giving to each other (or to me for that matter).

I'm with you there, I don't like it. Downvotes should be reserved for things that don't contribute, like trolling and racism etc. I also think it's incredibly rude if two people are having an amicable discussion and one downvotes the other one. It's like trying to punish them. On kbin, votes are not anonymous, which has had the effect of making people downvote more sparingly.
