People taking the voting system so seriously. On Reddit people got offended by being downvoted. Sometimes people downvote just because itβs sitting at a low number.
The karma system on Reddit is tied to a lot of things so it's understandable for them to care about it. If an account has low karma, they're more likely to be shadowbanned or suspended. Even when not shadowbanned, their posts and comments will need manual mod approval to be shown to other users.
I also hated the "disagree = down vote" mentality. Don't like what the other person is saying? Take 'em down.
That's the reason I signed up for Beehaw, because they removed the down vote ability. I think it makes for a more positive mindset
