I've complained about the culture that results from using downvotes for disagreement a number of times. I get zero response from the mods and numerous downvotes for my troubles.
I'm done fighting it. I just downvote anything I even slightly disagree with and move on. It's what the mods apparently want.
- oldmanjay 11y agoIt's interesting that you see no room for nuance in the mod system. Definitely doesn't need to work the way you're expressing it here. In particular, your petulant tone makes me think you wield downvotes vengefully. Downvotes work best with an emotionally mature community. Fortunately HN seems mature enough that discussion never really go off the rails, individuals with your attitude notwithstanding.
- waterlesscloud 11y agoDownvotes derail conversations here several times a day, your condescending tone notwithstanding. Apparently everyone is fine with that. So I see no reason not to be myself.
- DanBC 11y agoIt's something that gets frequently discussed on HN. You might want to look back over the gajillion threads about it.
