Disagreeing with an opinion is not a reason to downvote on HN.

  as far as I know this (nearly 9 year old) post saying otherwise is still the official ruling on it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=117171 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=117171

    Not this one, where downvote to disagree is described as a bit of a problem: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1057347 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1057347 Or this one, where pg suggests that people don't downvoting a grey post (I think people do downvote grey posts now, more than they used to.) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=658683 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=658683 this thread also has some comments about voting (and a bunch of other stuff, including ahem politics https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2403696 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2403696)
