I think dang was being facetious here when he said "getting it wrong." He knows damn well that downvoting does no good for a platform since it is so easily abused to suppress ideas.
- dang 6y agoYes, facetious and a little smug—but the rest of your comment is wildly off base from my perspective. Saying that downvoting does no good for HN is like saying white blood cells do no good for an organism. It's critical to the immune system. Yes, downvotes can do harm, just like white blood cells can. But try living without them.
