I seem to recall that we did not had the option of downvoting posts, but I’ve noticed now the red arrow appears for me? Is it a bug, an error, was I blind before, or did the feature get added?

Image for testing purposes, I did not leave the downvote on the donations thread

    Listen, you’re going to do what you want and so am I. And that’s fair enough.

      Would there be a compromise that would make you happy? Like rate limiting downvotes or something like that so that there’s some protection against mass downvotes? I am open to all feedback.

        OK so the downvotes were turned on and I didn’t know about it and I checked in on that post, it had gone to minus one. And that felt a little bit shit.

        Next thing I have the thought, “Oh I had better go back to not making my titles funny, they don’t like that.”

        Then I had the, “Wait, why am I even doing this?” moment.

        So that’s the question I am asking in this conversation. Why should I get to feel a little bit shit every time I do a particular thing? And the answer is: I shouldn’t do that thing, isn’t it?
