It has nothing to do with disagreement. It’s that downvotes are used to silence people.
You can make an argument counter to someone else’s without mini-censorship, but that’s hard, you need knowledge and experience for that.
Whats easy is just to try and hide anyone else from seeing a counter argument at all.
