I used to downvote fairly often on Reddit as a sign to disagree or to push down really disgusting bigoted comments. And to be honest, it became a habit to just downvote without replying. However, now that I’m on lemmy and not Reddit I’ve been actively trying to not instantly downvote things and instead move on or take the time to reply. Has anyone else been trying to do this?
Totally agree with this. I never downvote anything because it’s stupid in my opinion. It just sends a message that certain opinions are not welcome. I don’t want to only talk to people I agree with.
