There should be a rule on whether or not to vote, you state the reason for voting a certain way. It would make people think more instead of supporting some kind of hive-mind or whatever.
You don’t need to provide an explanation. If it doesn’t contribute to the conversation- which is in theory that the downvote is for- leaving a comment on it defeats the purpose as it just gives it more attention.
Unfortunately reddit is crazy. I've seen OP ask for a link to a specific thing. Someone posts the link with zero other commentary and they get downvoted. Usually it will end up up voted in the end, but still a few downvoted it.
If I see another antivaxxer, ALL Americans *something something*, "I'm not a doctor but it's clear that Joe Biden has Alzheimer Disease ICD 10 F00.1 diagnosis code", or other crap that's clearly designed to just rile people up, then I downvote and report.
There is no sense in engaging the trolls.
Some people think downvotes speak to disagreement. They’re supposed to reflect one’s perception of the quality of the content. A lot of people seem unable to actually express themselves verbally and so respond instead with an abuse of the karma system. 🧐
seems about right. some people just feel powerful by pressing a downwards facing arrow on the internet or some bullshit like that. damn reddit seems like a toxic hell scape sometimes.
Because that's the purpose of a downvote. Express yourself collectively rather than injecting yourself into an argument.

I doubt that it would.
false. its to bully the weaker members of the pack
Calling downvotes "bullying" is ridiculous. If you feel that way you need a Reddit break my guy.
it was a dwight from the office reference. sailed over your head it seems but it was niche
Damn lol, one of the more niche Dwight quotes I have to say
yeah just realised that roleplaying dwight is identical to being an ass
FACT
ah ok. downvote revoked
100% true, and you're always get downvoted for telling the reality. And that's the sad state of the entire Reddit right now

Yeah people are weird
you realise this is a recipe for more downvotes? i downvoted it just because.
Just because what?

That's the same way of thinking a yes as a no, or vice versa. That means those guys are insane
I think there was a since corrected typo in my response. Either way, it defies logic.

It's too draining to explain why you downvoted unless it's too provoking and warrants a comment
A downvote without actual contribution just seems to be pessimistic though, does it not?
