Comment on People downvoting a post for a support group.

It’s also entirely possible that someone just really doesn’t like that such content exists. Stop drinking is meant as a support group for alcoholics. But it’s messaging sounds a bit like moral crusading against alcohol. And that sounds like the sort of thing someone scrolling through a front page would take objection to.

everyone seems to have their own definition of what the upvote/downvote means, when it boils down to any connotations of positive/negative emotions linked to content. commenting adds context to them, otherwise that person's interpretation could mean anything

Pretending that votes mean any more than agree/disagree is just a delusion.
