Telling someone that you downvoted their comment is extremely toxic. Either downvote without replying, or reply without mentioning downvoting.

- benhoyt 4y ago> Telling someone that you downvoted their comment is extremely toxic. Why so? "Extremely toxic" seems at the least an exaggeration, but I don't see why it's "toxic" at all. Rather than just merely downvoting, the replier is also indicating why they thought the comment was inappropriate, which to my mind sounds constructive.
- kkielhofner 4y agoAs the subject of the parent, it’s not the downvote or comment regarding it that bothers me. The lecture about what this community is or isn’t through some imagined position of authority through seniority bothers me. That is extremely toxic. Bonus points they didn’t bother to check my profile to discover I “got here first” - which only goes to show how ridiculous this position is in the first place.
