I think I’ve settled on the latter. Disagreement is maybe best communicated by the absence of an upvote? And downvotes work best when they signal something that is just off base, and while not reportable, is not appreciated at a broad cultural level.

    Yes. This.

    Upvoting things you disagree with but are well put and compelling is the litmus test in a way.

    Vote for quality = a better platform

    Vote for personal appreciation = a toxic platform ?
