That's ironic

  In case of post on meta, the downvotes means "I disagree with this proposal", not that the question isn't good.

    Disagreement doesn't mean they're right about the proposal though.

    Which is kind of a perfect example of how downvotes are a bad interface - what they mean is context-sensitive, and needs to be explained. If meta had an explicit "disagree" flag, instead of an obtuse "downvote" that users have to intuit the meaning of, it wouldn't have to be explained in a HN comment.

  Not as ironic as you'd think[1]. [1]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/47635 https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/47635
