I don't know, I read with `showdead` on and the vast majority of heavily downvoted comments are really bad. Lightly downvoted posts are more of a mixed bag, but honestly I think it's pretty fair overall. Nothing is perfect but this forum gets it right more often than any other popular one that I have spent a long time on.
- m348e912 4y agoI wasn't aware of the showdead option, thanks.
- soco 4y agoMight be that the major evolution is that nowadays "dissenting" became to be an ass about it, because the others are just "snowflakes" unable to take my "well researched" opinion.
- jemmyw 4y agoI see a lot of downvoting for things people don't like that are factual/anecdotal. Downvote - pretty much saying "don't post that here because I don't want to hear it". If someone has done something you disagree with I think it's better to respond with a comment. I don't check every dead comment I find, but the couple I've looked at this past week seemed OK. Dissenting opinion and not really out there. I probably agree that it's better than other popular forums, but I disagree that the majority (I come across) should have been downvoted at all.
