Think before you downvote and take a moment to ensure you’re downvoting someone because they are not contributing to the community dialogue or discussion.
From reddiquette. You are not supposed to downvote people you disagree with so long as they are contributing to the discussion. I’m not sure if I ever saw this guide line followed in my ten years of Reddit though.
I’m kinda glad we downvote the things we disagree with. Whether on topic or not, shit opinions don’t deserve to be displayed with the same prominence as reasonable opinions.
And that’s how a community become an echo chamber. Also assuming any opinion you agree with is reasonable and those you disagree with is shitty is silly…
Isn’t that what was specified in the original reddiquette? Downvote to maintain quality, but not to disagree?
