It has 19 upvotes with 2 downvotes at the moment, which is a much more realistic ratio than what it was.

:(

At the time of writing that comment, it was 2 - 2, with one upvote from me.

I don’t think that getting rid of downvotes is a good idea, it’s a great tool, just a lot of people use it incorrectly

You put atleast 130 times more effort to this comment than the average downvoter, thank you, you get my upvote!

The votes still represent something in my opinion, that’s why they’re there. And I really don’t like it when I spend time writing, sometimes researching, formatting and somebody just says „no, this is shit” without even reading the first sentence, because they can just do that.

Thanks for the review!

I tend to leave really long comments, sometimes with a bit of raw information, so I see how that can be the case. Some communities like reading all the way trough, but I’m pretty sure that in some places, they don’t even read my username, just vote based on my avatar.

I mostly see them on political communities, but based on your downvotes, they might be getting out

oh no!

It is, here we have hope^TM

In my country it just became an actual „political platform”, the opposition leader started hosting an official AMA today. Maybe like with all things, it’s just politics ruining everything.

But not this strong. Since the fuck spez event, you can barely get any answers in the help subs, and you get instantly downvoted when you say something different. They once banned me from a subreddit and suspended me for 7 days from the entire platform because I said „No”. This place is much better, but it feels empty.
