    Same. I also like how they don’t push comments down the page.

    People are going to use it as a disagree button, let them do it publicly. If you don’t want other people to know you downvoted something, it’s probably because they made a good point that you don’t like.

      I agree with this. I think if you don’t agree but don’t feel so strongly to let others know you disagree, just skip voting.

      With that being said, something people should consider are the bad-faith actors who will track communities and harass individuals who engage in downvoting – this is something that will indeed be a problem for more hot button issues or politically motivated posting.
