You’d think after a decade or so somebody would figure out some system better than upvotes and downvotes that don’t mean what everyone assumes they mean. How about a tooltip to explain?
Even adding a separate 5-star agreement scale next to the up/down arrows would help so I could like upvote for a good contribution and give one star to say I disagree.
Isn’t the downvkte button just another way of showing that you disagree?
It’s not supposed to be.
It’s supposed to be for “not relevant or doesn’t add value to the discussion”.

It turns out we did find a solution. Leave reddit.
Not originally, but nobody on reddit follows the intent and just use it as a dislike button even if the argument is well thought out.
