I used to downvote fairly often on Reddit as a sign to disagree or to push down really disgusting bigoted comments. And to be honest, it became a habit to just downvote without replying. However, now that I’m on lemmy and not Reddit I’ve been actively trying to not instantly downvote things and instead move on or take the time to reply. Has anyone else been trying to do this?

      Hate speech laws in real life are also very ambiguous and rarely stand alone in court without another more easily proven charge.

      Upvote to you too anyway, although I’m still guilty of using downvote as a disagree button.
