By all means, those who are downvoting, explain the specific thing that's wrong about what I commented. Deciding from specific, circumstantial privilege about the wrongness or rightness of others necessities in the wider world is indeed an inherently shitty habit. So too is ignoring one's own hypocrisy in deriding certain broadly used things.
- cmrdporcupine 3y agoComplaining about downvotes on a public forum is also a "shitty habit." As is basically calling people names in said forum.
- southernplaces7 3y agoAnd why should it be? The silly HN "taboo" about mentioning downvotes is just that, silly. It's a tacit means of sidelining someone who might often have valid reasons for questioning why certain hivemind tendencies simply downvote valid points, with no reasoned counterargument, apparently because they emotionally dislike what they're reading. It's very common on this site and absolutely worth calling out in many cases, instead of automatically being considered shitty. Don't want people to complain about downvotes occasionally? Don't have them on the site.
