Person here who was from Reddit, and see downvotes as disagreement as a common usage.

Anecdotes amirite

[–] rglullis 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, anecdotes.

And your point is... ?

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Saying something like "3 people here don't think downvotes do xyz" is not a good argument. 3 is not significant, and is even still anecdotal

My friend, I don't know why you decided to necro this thread, but:

I am not using this data point to make a case that I'm holding some majority opinion. I know it's not, but at the same time it's not just because it's the minority opinion that it is somehow invalid.
The point is that "downvotes as disagreement" is not some type of "unwritten law" that is universally accepted.
Three people out of the whole group that got involved in the discussion is relevant.
