No, I like it the way it is. Humans are not that great at receiving feedback. It can also cause more drama and tension than necessary. Downvotes can and will be used to express disagreement and dislike for a position, and that’s ok. Not every argument is always in good faith or is useful enough to spend time justifying a downvote. So let’s leave it how it is.
Even pg acknowledged and agreed long ago that downvotes are/can be used to flag disagreement or dislike for a position. [1]
