I also always thought that downvoting should be reserved for low quality comments, but I had been corrected and even dang said:
Downvoting for disagreement has always been ok on HN.[1]
I don't really like it, but it has always been the case on HN. The question is if the community voting behavior has actually changed.

- pnw_hazor 6y agoDownvoting for disagreement is okay? That is new to me. Well okay then. I will proceed accordingly. Thanks.
- mumblemumble 6y agoFrom somewhere in the warren of links to dang posts I traced out from there: > I think people have the wrong idea about HN downvotes because they think Reddit rules apply to HN. That one gets me, because I had previously assumed that downvoting for disagreement would be a standard Reddit thing, but that HN's community is supposed to strive toward a more "we're all mature adults here" kind of community standard.
