  • In addition to what others said, in comments the down vote is meant to be used on comments that don’t further discussion in good faith.

    I used to subscribe to that idea, but I’ve since changed my mind. If the far majority use upvotes to mean agreement, then me upvoting a controversial, but well structured, opinion will likely be viewed as agreement as well.

    It’s a nice idea to think the voting system is meant to promote discussion, instead of homogenise opinions in a community.





  • Please correct my layman understanding if I’m wring here. But isn’t everything traveling in a straight line until an external force is applied. For example the earth orbiting the sun is traveling in a straight line in a curved apacetime. Also if you jump, the moment you leave the ground until you touch it again coming back down you were traveling in a straight line.
