I remember when they changed that.
The first time I downvoted an asinine, irrelevant comment and watched the vote count turn blue but stay at "24k" it really felt like I was personally being told that I wasn't welcome there anymore. It was a reminder that my opinion didn't matter.
How long ago did Reddit change that? I didn't join that site until 2015, so I missed the early days.
Whatever the case, I hope we keep upvotes and downvotes separate here.
Looks like they did it 9 years ago - wow, I can't believe it was that long ago. link
Not sure tbh. When I reply to people on here, I don't usually mention them. I guess if it's doing it for you automatically, then that's how it's supposed to work, idk.
