HN is slowly becoming like reddit, people are downvoting a factually correct comment because they disagree. Because they don't know the topic they're disagreeing about.
- 14 7y agoWhen ever I down vote a person I always try and leave a comment as to why I disagree. I really think this should be the norm of HN. Justify your answer. Otherwise I am left wondering if the people down voting are simply paid trolls trying to persuade public opinion.
- missosoup 7y agoDownvotes aren't to signal 'I disagree'. They're supposed to signal 'this comment is noise/doesn't contribute to discussion'.
- winrid 7y agoIt's not correct is the issue.
