This isn’t your college or work place break room. If people are saying something you disagree with you can just say it and you won’t be fired or ostracized for it. Yeah, people will probably get angry and say mean things to you but those are just words which can be ignored. Offence is taken, not given.
This is mostly for the lurkers who upvote unpopular opinions but don’t comment. You can speak up - you’re not alone.
Join an instance with downvotes disabled :p
Downvotes can also be disabled in the settings.
Good to know!
Doesn’t that diable all votes?
No, there are separate settings for up- and downvotes. I don’t see downvotes myself but I see upvotes.
Oh, that must have been added since I last checked.
My instance doesn’t even keep them. They get dropped before they hit our database.
