Far too often, lately, I see lots of people worried about the number of downvotes, or making preliminary justifications and requests to not downvote particular posts.

Me? I don’t have to think about any of that. The content of the posts and comments determines their quality, not some artificial number that only represents whether people dis/like something.

Edit: Wow, a lot of people from other instances seem really offended that I don’t like downvoting and seem a bit confused that I’d be thanking my admins for something I appreciate.

If you like downvoting, you don’t have to move here. Enjoy your instance’s features. Welcome to the Fediverse.

      That’s because you came into a discussion slinging insults with zero self awareness. You think a person disagreeing with an authority figure on a matter of politics is a personal insult.

          How is it that your definition of an insult is so narrow as to not include your words, but so broad as to include mine? A contradiction to be sure.
