@9naleiD per subreddit, as a choice.. I think voting up and down can make sense on certain subreddits, but definitely not on small ones

@finnwilcox @StackOverflow Systems of data, fact and science are compatible with downvotes (this could apply to some subreddits as well!). Systems of opinion.. are absolutely not

@finnwilcox it was a persistent pattern within the community.. opinions would get downvoted constantly. Also, people decide they don't like the cut of your jib, and downvote every post you make. For small subs there are maybe 2-3 votes on a post max, so it feels real bad

I want to like it, but I keep having to quit Reddit and delete my account based on the terribad combination of opinions + downvoting. Particularly dispiriting on small subreddits; they need an "upvotes only" mode for subs.

I wish more people understood that the goal of Stack Overflow is not "answer my question" but "let's collaboratively build an artifact that will benefit future coders". Perhaps SO could be doing more to educate people about this.

It is so difficult to bolt a new culture on an existing culture, long after the original culture was established. Example of Reddit, where "anything goes" was the de-facto law of the land for a decade.
