I can’t say I never downvote anyone but I get into these comment chains from time to time where really no matter what I post whoever I’m talking to downvotes every response but I generally shy away from downvoting even things I dislike. I don’t want to fall into an echo chamber where all I see are only the things I agree with.

    I downvote comments that clearly break the rules of the community they’re posted in.

      This. The original intent of the downvote on reddit was for things that actively take away from the conversations; not merely because you disagree with it.

      Equally, the upvote was for things that contribute, not just for things you like.
