downvoting everything i disagree with seems excessive and unhealthy, considering i can just ignore and move on. Beehaw doesn’t have downvotes at all, reasoning that you can ignore it and move on or report it, and it seems to work fine for them. i do think downvotes have a use though, i’m just not sure what it is. what do you all think?

    Things that are particularly low effort or that don’t really fit in the sub. Blatant marketing outside of AMAs. Rudeness that doesn’t break the rules. Double/triple/howevermanyposts. Blatant misinformation that could hurt someone. Anyone that tries to say something nice about spez.

    I think that sums up the major categories, off the top of my head.

        It is public data, however, I don’t believe there is a frontend for retrieving it yet. You could probably pull it by hand from an api endpoint if you really want to know.
