So, coming from the world of RIF where downvotes haven’t been a thing for quite some time:
what are downvotes for in Lemmy?
What am I expressing when I downvote?
I don’t agree with the post? I don’t want the post to gain notoriety? I don’t like the sentiment or the way it’s expressed (even if it’s factually true)?
Help!
This is sadly the most realistic answer.
Imo it’s not sad. Just reality
Reality can be (and often is) very sad indeed.
