I used to downvote fairly often on Reddit as a sign to disagree or to push down really disgusting bigoted comments. And to be honest, it became a habit to just downvote without replying. However, now that I’m on lemmy and not Reddit I’ve been actively trying to not instantly downvote things and instead move on or take the time to reply. Has anyone else been trying to do this?
You imply that this is systemic. Well its not. Let me help you move past this:
Strongly Agree: +1
Agree: 0
Neutral: 0
Disagree: 0
Strongly Disagree: -1
If you are having trouble with working through this, and you Strongly Strongly Strongly Disagree then there is a 6th option.
Strongly Strongly Strongly Disagree: +1 562-379-4995
What? I’m already doing this now. I just used to do Slightly Disagree: -1. I’m not really having trouble doing it, I was just noting my own desire to change my habits.
