Haha you saved me from doing that. I was so close.

  I know both you guys haven't been on HN for that long, but the downvote is not meant to be a dislike button. That is the antithesis of HN's norms around discourse:
  • victorbjorklund 20d ago
    It is a joke.
    • alephnerd 20d ago
      This isn't Reddit.
      • victorbjorklund 20d ago
        You get that there isn’t even a downvote button for submissions right? Jesus
        • ternaryoperator 20d ago
          There is one; you have not earned it yet.
          • BalinKing 20d ago
            I'm fairly certain only comments can be downvoted, regardless of karma.
          • victorbjorklund 18d ago
            There is no downvote button for submissions. Are you lying?
      • emdash 20d ago
        I'm almost certain people tell jokes even outside of Reddit
        • bawolff 20d ago
          Just like kings, anyone who has to proclaim their comment is a joke, has not made a true joke.

    This is incorrect, downvotes are "allowed" for mere disagreement; see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16131314 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16131314.

      Disagreement does not mean dislike.
