Don't worry! Downvotes are only for flagging content that doesn't belong here. It will never be used as an "I disagree" button.
This is also why we at Reddit don't have a report button, because the free marketplace of ideas will naturally sort out posts and comments that are appropriate. Wait, I'm receiving a new update, you DO HAVE A BUTTON TO REPO—
I was somewhat against removing downvotes when we initially did that, but wow was I wrong. Terrible reddit-tier feature that needs to be trashed.

But then how will I feel my comrades hands on my shoulders telling me I made a good post?
Nothing quite like checking your profile and seeing a throwaway comment you made a few days ago have 50 upbears on it![emoji meow-melt meow-melt](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/e6149c4c-a145-40d5-a34c-e9cb9bb9bb9d.png)
