Good question. The documentation says:

On the left side of each post there are up and down arrows, which let you upvote or downvote it. You can upvote posts that you like so that more users will see them. Or downvote posts so that they are less likely to be seen.

which doesn't really back me up.

My downvote principle was meant more generally - most places that have a downvote policy say that it's not meant for shouting down people you disagree with, since that's not conducive for civil and nuanced conversations.

I understand the point (especially if some can't use downvotes) but I hope the alternative isn't something like this post, because I don't think I've ever seen a less civil one.

You’ve never heard anything less civil than “shut up”? You live a very sheltered life if that’s the case.

You are as pitiful a troll as ggsu7.

[-] spacecowboy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Why does “shut up” to a stupid comment bring out this nastiness from you? Why are you so angry?

[-] Infiltrated_ad8271@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

That you want to continue this and keep throwing out crude provocations only reinforces my assumption.
You don't even have a good excuse, at no point have I mentioned you and this is a huge post full of rudeness, in any case that you take it as an allusion speaks volumes.
