Downvotes basically allows for dogpiling and allows stupid people to circlejerk. Also, i am perfectly ok with getting downvotes but others are not. These weak boned sensitive weenies delete their comments the first sign that people disagree so thats why you see everyone agreeing on everything. This is compounded with the fact that the fediverse is a series of bubbles so, for instance, i will immediately know I will disagree with someone if they have a lemmigrad or hexbear in their name.

Upvotes can be used to dogpile misinformation and also to circle jerk. I’ve always felt this argument against down votes is weak, at best. Might as well get rid of voting entirely.
If they delete their comment because it got down voted, it wasn’t worth having their opinion on pemmy to begin with. I love when the trash takes itself out.
Screw that nonsense. Trash exists and should be binned, your comment case-in-point.

And so can comments. Better remove all of them to protect the public from excessive disapproval or approval.
