Personally I find the downvore/up vote system to be super unproductive, the only thing it accomplishes is squashing the minority opinion, I keep the score system disabled for the comments section as a whole, it makes life easier and preventse from being populous/bandwagon bias. It still sorts by score for top-level but, it made navigating so much much peaceful.
Comment on Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not?
zazo@lemmy.world 1 month agoSo people can just downvote it instead right? That’s literal direct democracy at play - if there’s more people that like the bot they’ll upvote it and it will have a positive score - saying “just bury your head in the sand if you don’t agree with this message” is the reason we’re in this political mess in the first place…

Over all and in general sure. But for things like bots it’s really good feedback.

Sure - do whatever you want. There are users on this very instance that I downvote every post they make rather than block.
I also have comment(s?) in this very thread about when I downvote it.
