    Probably because around here you can post whatever you feel like saying without worrying about tiptoeing around your words or just outright not posting (if your opinion is dissenting enough) unless you want to be slaughtered by downvotes.

      I experienced this yesterday... It's such a liberating experience to speak your mind and not get downvoted to hell for it!

      I suspect some users even upvote content they disagree with being they appreciate genuine conversation. And that blows my mind.

        Oh, it's coming. I'm seeing more mysterious downvotes on snaps and comments with no reason given. I don't know if the perpetrators will stop or if they consider it just the price of participation on a social media forum.

          I hope the admins and the rest of the community will manage to enforce proper Snapzu etiquette. I might be naive, but I like to think this is just new users learning the ropes.

          One can hope... It's true that reddit used to be a much more civil place, downvote-wise.

            I share this hope. I really think it will have to come to some form of feature change, however, as the site grows in popularity. Currently there is no way to prevent the mass abuse of the down vote arrow.

          I'm right there with you on the downvotes.
