It’s a nice feedback check. I don’t post that often so I usually see how the last post performed when I log in the next day. Usually my posts are met with indifference. But it’s interesting to see the posts that perform highly negative or highly positive.
- fragmede 4y agoExcept it's not very deep. Did I get downvoted for being too inflammatory, or of being rude, or for making my point poorly, or because there's a logical fault in my argument, or because my point goes against accepted knowledge, or because someone misclicked the upvote button? I can guess, but it would be nicer to know why.
- reidjs 4y agoThat’s true, comment replies are always better because they give you even more information. There’s still some signal in the upvotes and downvotes, even if it’s simply “the silent majority people who lurk HN generally disagree with this statement”
- petodo 4y agoIndeed, either we should scrap downvote button completely or if you wanna use it, you would need to provide reason for downvoting at least let's say 50 characters long.
