A downvote isn’t meant to communicate anything to you. It’s communicating that they don’t recommend your comment. It’s a function of the system we use. Feeling entitled to a justification is karenish.
There are actually a lot of people who lurk on these sorts of platforms and don’t really have a desire to engage with us.
Yes, sure. But there are exceptions like here in /c/unpopularopinion for example. The guideline for this community says:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down
Since my post has 70 downvotes now this would mean that most people think that this is a popular opinion. But somehow I get the feeling that this is not what most people wanted to communicate.
