I downvote anything that I deem worsens the quality of the community. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • misinformation

  • trolls

  • bad faith engagement

  • uncalled for hostility and incivility

  • very lazy, low effort posts/comments

Perfect! I'd add mindless slogans as well.

"The cruelty is the point!"

Or any of 100 other endlessly repeated replies.

Wouldn't that just fall to the last bullet point?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yep! But I particularly hate the repeated slogans.
