Open letter to those who provide Red Flag with downvotes

in downvote •  5 years ago  (edited)

I don't agree on expecting explanations. There is a good reason not to expect or demand that downvoters explain everything. Downvoting is not rewarded the way upvoting is. Anyone downvoting is either malicious or doing a public service. Malicious downvoters won't explain and demanding more uncompensated effort and explanations from those doing good by downvoting means that less people will be willing to do it.

Just as others have stated that upvotes don't get explanations, downvotes often won't either. Just accept it as the subjective opinion of the voter (even if you don't agree with it) and go on with life (which could include also making your own, contrary vote, or not).

Hi @smooth

I can't agree when it is malicious, it will ruin the platform

Nothing you can do about it (other than vote differently/better).

I get that you're venting and that's understandable but in the end malicious people are going to be malicious. It is up to the good people to see they don't do too much damage.
