What’s with all the downvotes?

Saw a few threads get blasted, and a de-federation post - did I miss the drama?

How do I upvote you more than once?

Not only is your argument well thought out, but your observations closley match those I've seen.

I chronically search by all>new, and other than people reposting screenshots (from a month ago) of Grad's outrage at being de-federated, I have yet to see tankie posts.

Honestly, I think the two sides (tankie and anti tankie) are both teenager/20s looking at their side with rose coloured glasses.

Have you heard of our bae communism? Never mind that ugly business in 1970s Cambodia tee hee.

Have you heard about our bae Fascism? Franco did nothing wrong!

Well for one I'm grateful to read at least someone thought it was a reasonable opinion because I've seem to have gotten a personal record of people mad.

I thought we could be done with the Reddit-style attitude towards downvotes (especially with votes being public and all), I'm talking about people who are not even in the conversation and just happen to be lurking and downvote because they don't like your comment or whatever. Such a lame thing to do.

If you disagree with someone over the content of their comment you can reply with your thoughts. Save the downvotes for trolls, bad faith actors, people spewing hate speech (especially fascist rhetoric) and people who are aggressively argumentative to the point of being disrespectful. We can keep it civil if we exclude the usual suspects of hate and trolling.

I made a post about exactly this.
