  If you're not going to contribute anything but your rage, you should shut up. This is what the downvote button is for.

    No, the downvote is meant to be for things that don’t contribute to the discussion, not for things you disagree with.

      Is this documented for Lemmy or just grandfathered from Reddit?

      Not all instances even support upvotes. Some only support downvotes. Does every instance have to agree on the meaning?

      • Deebster@programming.dev ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Good question. The documentation says:

        On the left side of each post there are up and down arrows, which let you upvote or downvote it. You can upvote posts that you like so that more users will see them. Or downvote posts so that they are less likely to be seen.

        which doesn’t really back me up.

        My downvote principle was meant more generally - most places that have a downvote policy say that it’s not meant for shouting down people you disagree with, since that’s not conducive for civil and balanced conversations.

      That’s the ideal, but we all know that’s not how the majority of users use it.

    Upvotes and downvotes are only there to tell people with no wrinkles how they should feel about a post. It creates a preconceived bias.

    Shut up.

    That is not censorship, my smooth friend. Nobody is censoring anybody in this context.

    If you turn your tv off during a newscast are you censoring the broadcaster?

    source

    • JustSomePerson@kbin.social ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      If my broadcaster blocks the news segments they don't want me to see, it is. That's what's happening here. Instance owners are taking it upon themselves to block content from users. Bullying pieces of shit are trying to strong arm instance owners into defederating.
