        I first upvote it, so more people see it and it gets more downvotes, then i revisit later and downvote, which then decreases by 2.

        I’ll also down vote anyone using up votes as some kind of metric for their post/comment being inherently right/good

        I’m the same! If the comment contains the word downvote in it, it’s a DV. I even downvote my own haha! It’s a silly little reminder to myself how little they matter

      Mine wasn’t.

      Communities trying to have alternate meanings for upvotes/downvotes must keep in mind that people scrolling posts across communities won’t generally notice the community and if they do they won’t read the rules and will vote however they want. Trying to force them to follow some silly community specific process is tilting at windmills and bitching about it is embarrassing.
