what if you are only granted 1 downvote per 2 upvotes you assign-- this would have a triple effect of promoting a more positive site-wide image and make downvotes twice as meaningful while also preventing abusive brigading of users-- just a thought- is the idea even feasibly applicable?
I think you obsess too much with that non-issue.
its not a huge issue, but its not a non-issue… you don’t have to be so black and white with your dismissives.
As someone on an instance without downvotes… it’s a non-issue. I don’t even think about downvotes until people start whining about them.
