Pixels on a screen denoting disagreement are harmless and if you feel otherwise maybe you should go touch grass to improve your mental health.

The point of the voting system is to decide which posts are seen by more or fewer people.
If you downvote a perfectly good post, you’re stopping people from seeing it. You cannot try to justify that by pretending it’s harmless.

That might be your reason for the voting system. That doesn’t make it everyone else’s reason.
A downvote doesn’t stop people from seeing a post. They just have to scroll farther. Also your definition of “a perfectly good post” might not be the same as mine or someone else’s.

Ok then, explain to me why you think this post deserves to be downvoted.

Maybe people are tired of hearing about orange idiots. Maybe Mercury is in retrograde. Maybe people misclicked the tiny little arrows in voyager. Who knows. I personally don’t spend brain cycles on worrying about things that don’t matter.
