I love the idea that downvotes should only be used sparingly and not to disagree with a comment, but Reddit had the same rule, and as it grew in popularity, that rule fell to the wayside. Comments that contributed to the discussion but were controversial were buried unset downvote brigades and nothing could be done about it. I unfortunately can see that happening here as well.

Regardless, Reddit has been going downhill for a while now, and I look forward to familiarizing myself with this website. I hope everyone is as nice as they say they are!
