Or when you comment something and you get a rain of downvotes without even one person saying why they downvoted you.
Yeah, I sometimes have stupid opinions. But how will I know why it's stupid if all y'all do is downvote me? People here are very different and would actually talk to you and explain stuff. This is mainly why I'm much more active here.
This has a lot to do with the size of the community, at least for me. Often on Reddit I would have no idea if you were ever going to stick around to make the effort to correct you worthwhile, or if you were just someone that likes to argue endlessly because that's how you get your entertainment. It just because easier to punish and move on that to try and correct.
That kind of thing can push people away from new hobbies just because they aren't familiar with reddit though.
And if downvotes are disabled, then either they just get ignored and drowned out by other posts/comments, or someone points them to the wiki and they still get the answer they wanted.
thanks for using Leebra!

One thing I definitely won't miss is being downvoted for just asking a question!
