Lemmings who downvote news posts because you disagree with the conclusions, why? - eviltoast

I sometimes post news articles that examine possible problems in society. Some may agree with the author, some may disagree. I often see these posts being downvoted if many disagree with the author.

Why do you downvote the post instead of commenting to express your disagreement?

As far as I understand, the idea is to upvote the post to spur conversation and comment to express your agreement or disagreement. Or did I misunderstand something?

    report it. So far the mods have seemed to take them down reasonably quickly. for example, that incel guy in !politics… (and here,)

    I still recommend down voting in the meantime, but, yeah.
