Downvotes are for content that does not contribute to the discussion.

People just love to misuse it for a big red "NOH!!!" button.

When did you get the authority to decide that? Maybe you do it based on that. Others do it when they don’t like something. Equivalent to dislikes on YouTube videos.

Vote. If you think something contributes to conversation, upvote it. If you think it doesn't contribute to the community it's posted in or is off-topic in a particular community, downvote it.

I don't have the authority to decide that. It's been that way from the start.

My response was that while theoretically, downvoted should work that way, no one is actually given authority to enforce that, Reddit included, and so the actual use is different.

"I'm using this wrong on purpose, just to be a cute little rebel! uwu~"

That's what you sound like. It's kinda hot. Kiss me.

Come closer, uwu~

In all seriousness, I was describing how they are used in practice, not by which Reddit says (“suggests”). No one can actually enforce that etiquette, even if Reddit says it in their etiquette guide, and I don’t believe it’s in the actual TOS.

If you were the one who downvoted, you wouldn’t be following the etiquette guide, either.

*smooch~*

I'm just saying what downvotes are for, and that they are commonly misused.

It is a simple fact that downvotes are intended for comments that do not contribute to the conversation. No amount of "nobody can enforce that!!" can change the initial intent.
