    I hated downvotes on Reddit because like merely 5 would silence all anti honeymoon’s sentiment. This place, your can have a million downvotes but the comment is still there so i just count em as engagement points. Someone felt strongly, that means i wrote something worth reading in a way

      That’s because -5 was the default threshold for a comment being automatically hidden on reddit. Most people never bothered to change the setting.

      I can’t even see downvotes on here and I quite like it. If someone can’t be bothered to actually tell me why I’m wrong I don’t care much about their opinion anyway.
