It’s kind of disappointing how people tend to use the upvote/downvote buttons. Sure, if it’s an opinion you don’t like, then downvote it to hell.
But if OP is posting a link to a legit article. That’s not an opinion, that’s facts. Downvoting facts makes them less likely to be seen by others.
Use those buttons wisely. I don’t like it any more than many others, but I’m gonna tap that upvote in hopes it might help more people see the news!
Downvote me if you want, IDGAF.
also downvotes aren’t federated to kbin so you wont see downvotes from other instances and because downvotes are public here you’re less likely to see them in general. it’s an overall much better experience.
