How would anyone know if you don’t take on the responsibility of downvoting with the requisite explanation? And how would you yourself know you aren’t off base

How would anyone know if you don’t take on the responsibility of downvoting with the requisite explanation? And how would you yourself know you aren’t off base if your reasoning is not put to the same test of being downvoted itself?
- mlthoughts2018 6y agoThat is a very good point. Unfortunately we would have to wait for moderation standards and guidelines of HN to improve hugely before it can possibly be pursued. I wish it were different, but I’m just one person, and a big mass of the HN commenter population who benefits from the way the guidelines work on these points have no real incentive to push for it to change.
