i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

Well the rules on Reddit specifically say that the downvote button isn’t a disagree button. Haven’t even looked at the rules on them here tbh, I assume it’s different per instance.

Mods could decide which were shit, but the good thing would be that even if the mods were shit at least everyone could see who was downvoting in bad faith. It would also showcase shitty mods.

Seems people agree with me, given that I'm downvoted with no explanation! Which is extra ironic.

So, care to explain why the downvotes, folks?

It’s not a disagree button.

Funny, considering you used it like one.

No I didn’t. I used it to downvote something that’s wrong.
