I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Well, I downvoted you because I disagree. Who's on the committee to decide if this is a shit reason? Also, which committee decided that downvotes are not for disagreement?
Well the rules on Reddit specifically say that the downvote button isn’t a disagree button. Haven’t even looked at the rules on them here tbh, I assume it’s different per instance.
Mods could decide which were shit, but the good thing would be that even if the mods were shit at least everyone could see who was downvoting in bad faith. It would also showcase shitty mods.
Seems people agree with me, given that I'm downvoted with no explanation! Which is extra ironic.
So, care to explain why the downvotes, folks?
It’s not a disagree button.
Funny, considering you used it like one.
No I didn’t. I used it to downvote something that’s wrong.
