Re:I wish HN had a downvote option for submissions by keiferski on Wednesday August 12, 2020 @01:44AM (#24128915)
Disagree strongly. Downvotes add a level of toxicity that should be avoided as much as possible. Ignoring an undesirable link is better than having a negative reaction to it. The lack of a downvote button also forces any critics to leave a comment explaining their criticism, rather than just mindlessly pressing the down arrow.
