I was hoping to get buy in about the uses of downvotes.
I think that if people know that comment downvotes are public information and if they agree on the proper use of downvotes, we will be able to identify bad actors.
On the other hand, if people believe incorrectly comment downvotes have been unethically used against them, then anybody, even me, may let their demons get the better of them, and vote in revenge. So it’s very important for people to know it’s public information.
Fake internet points are not worth this much deliberation. There are so many actual problems in this world you could be worried about, and you’ve chosen this. Make a different choice, a more impactful choice. You clearly have a good head on your shoulders, if a bit swollen. You should put it to good use.
Why would your approval factor into my behavior at all? I’ll remove the downvote, but get your ego in check.
