I’m very curious about the reasoning different people use when deciding to downvote a post or comment. Often, when something gets “heavily” downvoted, the OP will ask some variation of “why the downvotes?”. This is sometimes answered with sincere criticism, but sometimes is received even more poorly than the original offending post.
Do you downvote people who ask “why the downvotes?”? What informs the decision?
That’s so cool, I have never heard of such a thing. is it a written rule for the comm(s) or is it more of an unofficial custom?
Apologies, I was ripping off Paul F Tompkins’ standup from before he got sober.
oh lol.
