downvoting everything i disagree with seems excessive and unhealthy, considering i can just ignore and move on. Beehaw doesn’t have downvotes at all, reasoning that you can ignore it and move on or report it, and it seems to work fine for them. i do think downvotes have a use though, i’m just not sure what it is. what do you all think?

    Normally, you should downvote something that does not contribute to the discussion or is unhelpful.

    I don’t downvote because I disagree with something. I don’t think that was the intention.
