Yes and no. Article comment can be toxic downvote brigades to anyone who does not adhere to the hive's opinion and Ars is a mala fide Apple boot licker to the bone. Ars forums have gone to hell in this regard.

Not sure the fourms are caused by acquisition.

I do see the UX experience being more thick, less favorable signal to noise happening due to acquisition. There may be editorial conflicts of interest too. I do not notice at present.

If you don't like downvotes then make your own subreddit and attract like opinions. I personally don't think posts should be voted more negative than -1.
