I think I’ve settled on the latter. Disagreement is maybe best communicated by the absence of an upvote? And downvotes work best when they signal something that is just off base, and while not reportable, is not appreciated at a broad cultural level.
Don’t feel bad. I down vote things I don’t want to see. Others much want to see that but I am putting my 2cents in.
This isn’t reddit getting downvoted won’t mean you can only post every 10mins. You can post as much as you want
