Old habits die hard, but there's Reddiquette which needs to be revived, and some which needs to die.

Many "golden-age" redditors remember a time when downvoting was reserved for hostility, not a different opinion. For the sake of our growing community I would like to implore everyone to be awesome to each other.

However, this place is not Reddit.

  • We don't measure in bananas here.
  • We don't need to append "edit: typo" to edited posts and comments.
  • if you see something which is worthy of a downvote: down vote and move on! Don't engage with it and feed the algorithm/engament machine so other people are exposed to it when sorting by active.

Alright, a question for you all about down voting. Is the platform, or the apps made for it take it into account for feeds?

ie, if I down vote everything I don't like seeing does it get removed from my feed? If so I'd just down vote and move on. If not, I'd probably not down vote, but even if I did, I'd feel like I need to give a reason behind it for the poster to know.

I don't believe there's any instance with an algorithm, so no. In the future someone might launch an instance with an algorithm like that.
