      +1, really like it. So downvotes are for things that suck to a person? That’s where my confusion comes from, what are people using the downvote for that’s so prevalent it’s sacred and needs to be protected? A downvote is one level below a report for me basically, for content that’s gone off the rails or levels on breaking a rule (like harassment etc). I wouldn’t want reports to be anonymous so they’re not abused, just like downvotes. If we’re using the vote system for an opinion based algorithm I could understand why people want it private but that’s not it’s purpose.

        In an ideal world a downvote would be used sparingly but people literally downvote things they don’t like all the time. I downvote when I see something off-topic or shouldn’t belong here, but I can’t say the same for most of the platform.

        I think it is for the algorithm - people often sort by hot or top, so voting and commenting increases the visibility. Downvotes decrease the visibility.

      Thank you, I’ll probably touch it up later with actual inserted text fields. Running out of my available free time for the day but it was hot off the press and wanted to get it out there while it was still relevant lol.

    Okay, sorry, I attempted to draw this as a comic on my phone but it didn’t go well, so I settled for a single meme frame instead. I thought this was hilarious, but I guess the joke didn’t get through this way. I’ll think about whether I should draw it in hand and post again.
