    If I get downvotes without any reply, I generally assume I’ve angered some trogdolytes, similar to getting replies full of vitriol.

    Which has helped with my own urges to rage reply.

      Yeah for me it’s less that I rage about getting downvoted, its just when I see a massive number of downvotes for posts that are simply pointing to the facts, or being logical and rational…and they get a massive number of downvotes because it contradicts the circlejerk or what people want to be true.

        Yeah, though on the bright side, it’s not nearly as bad here as Reddit was. Based on votes and replies, it seemed like a non-trivial amount of people on there didn’t have much skill in the reading comprehension or persuasion department.
