Has anyone else been trying to break their reddit-era habit of downvoting?
Has anyone else been trying to break their reddit-era habit of downvoting?
I used to downvote fairly often on Reddit as a sign to disagree or to push down really disgusting bigoted comments. And to be honest, it became a habit to just downvote without replying. However, now that I’m on lemmy and not Reddit I’ve been actively trying to not instantly downvote things and instead move on or take the time to reply. Has anyone else been trying to do this?

I don’t really vote as a way to agree or disagree.
I only downvote if something is inappropriate, else I leave it be. And then I apply my own rule that is to upvote anything(!) that I comment on (yea this post too), no matter what I feel about it.
If something is worth spending time commenting on, it deserves an upvote.
