I sometimes post news articles that examine possible problems in society. Some may agree with the author, some may disagree. I often see these posts being downvoted if many disagree with the author.
Why do you downvote the post instead of commenting to express your disagreement?
As far as I understand, the idea is to upvote the post to spur conversation and comment to express your agreement or disagreement. Or did I misunderstand something?
Technically yes, since it seems you and I are both on Kbin and also reading this post, but nostupidquestions is a Lemmy community, so I guess I don’t really mind.
