This is why downvoting is fundamentally flawed. It could be "I don't like it" all the way up to "I know for a fact that's wrong," but nobody else will ever know the rationale.
I don't even see downvotes on my instance, and I never want to, because it just raises questions and confusion.
I've always liked the way slashdot handles comment rating. It's a bit complicated, so maybe that's why it's not adopted elsewhere, but it gives a much more fine grained options instead of just up/downvote.
Oh, that's an interesting way to do it. You'd probably have to have a handful of moderators each for the various comms, but it sounds like it would at least resist lazy engagement.
This. I think, waay back in the day, down voting was a way to filter bad information. Whenever I see a down vote on something I've said, I'm always left wondering if I gave erroneous information, was I out in the weeds smokin' crack? I'm always down for being educated.
