Yeah! And it helps that there is no karma here. We just give a hoot about preservation and sharing. :)

Even though it’s meaningless I have seen some people in different communities voting down comments and posts they don’t agree with like on Reddit which is unfortunate.

For the piracy community I hope it doesn’t just turn into passive aggressive comments directing people to the megathread all the time.

I like helping people dig for obscure stuff

I’ll say I really only see downvoted for hugely unpopular or untrue opinions relating to the API stuff that happened over at reddit. Other than that everything mostly seems positive. I have stayed off political communities for the most part so far though.
That’s my strategy too, but it seems like people just can’t help themselves from dropping some political comment in non political discussions. It’s so tiresome.
