      +1, really like it. So downvotes are for things that suck to a person? That’s where my confusion comes from, what are people using the downvote for that’s so prevalent it’s sacred and needs to be protected? A downvote is one level below a report for me basically, for content that’s gone off the rails or levels on breaking a rule (like harassment etc). I wouldn’t want reports to be anonymous so they’re not abused, just like downvotes. If we’re using the vote system for an opinion based algorithm I could understand why people want it private but that’s not it’s purpose.

        In an ideal world a downvote would be used sparingly but people literally downvote things they don’t like all the time. I downvote when I see something off-topic or shouldn’t belong here, but I can’t say the same for most of the platform.

        I think it is for the algorithm - people often sort by hot or top, so voting and commenting increases the visibility. Downvotes decrease the visibility.
