  I mean, votes are public in the fediverse. I wouldn’t try to read into the reasoning from a single downvoter too much though.

  One downvote could be accidental. 2 downvotes in the same thread makes that seem less likely.

  Downvoting/Upvoting doesn’t mean the same thing that it does for everyone. Some use it as an agree/disagree. Some use it for whether a comment is productive and adds to the conversation or not. Some use it as a visibility score whether they think a comment should be seen by others first or whether there are other comments that are better. Some may agree with most everything in a comment except for one part and then downvote because of that.

    I thought the point of the system is to mark down out of context comments that doesn’t contribute to the post and not a I disagree button or super upvote.

      That might be the point of the system but in reality it is definitely used for like/dislike. Someone says that they like Windows and/or dislike Linux and they are guaranteed to get downvotes.

      Well, this isn’t exactly stackoverflow…!
      It is rare for things to be out of context…

      Really, upvotes and downvotes are more or less… just… whatever made most people satisfied enough with a comment that they wanted to say they dis-/-liked it.

        Batman Beyond. Takes place in a cyberpunk futuristic Gotham City, which feels like a natural direction that the crime ridden corrupt old city would transition into a new, technocorporate cyberpunk city full of crime.
