  • What it would not solve, BTW, is the problem of having the visibility of my content pushed down for everyone on the basis of subjective disagreement. I believe THAT is a real problem of downvoting that obviously nobody here wants to talk about.

    That is not the problem, that is THE feature! You get to comment and everybody else get’s to vote on whether that comment was good or bad. If you don’t want your comments to be downvoted, write better comments.


  • If I am asking to be able to block subsequent comments by a downvoter on this thread, then no, that is not a universal block.

    That is correct. If you ask to be able to block all comments by a downvoter everywhere then it is!

    A feature that already exists - do you want it rolled back?

    I’m not aware that this feature exists, but it if it does, then yes.

    If they preferred not to see your comment, they’d block you. That’s how you not see someone’s comments.

    Downvotes are an indication for other people telling them “hey, this comment/post might be wrong/off-topic/stupid/offensive/etc”.

    Also people might downvote some of your comments, but upvote others. You know, because people have different opinions on things.

    What you demand is: “I want to auto-block everyone that has ever disagreed with me on anything”, which is not a very healthy position.
