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?

    Upvote high quality, downvote low-quality.

    Examples of low-quality:

    • off topic

    • misinformation

    • bad faith

    • partisanship

    • stereotyping

    Low quality does NOT mean “things I disagree with”.
