Ask HN: What has HN given you?

I remember when I first joined that I really liked how people who disagree here do not downvote but rather challenge you through a comment. It was a nice change from reddit...

But times have changed and people love to downvote here these days.

I think hacker news does an ok job at mitigating this by not allowing you to downvote until you reach a certain amount of karma.

Obviously that creates its own problems but at least you have to have a little bit invested in the community before you can start trying to dictate the conversation.

Honest question: how do you know? There doesn't seem to be any public voting data available. Is this just an impression you have?
