    i want lemmy to be a constructive place where people are not chased away. The habit of the downvote culture here is not helping lemmy grow.

      Don’t post stupid shit and you won’t get downvoted, it’s simple

      Engagement is engagement, if you don’t like that your opinions aren’t agreed with: tough titties, learn to deal with it or stop posting

        Your position implies that only people you agree with are able to have a civil discussion, and it’s impossible to discuss anything that there is any disagreement on.

        These attitudes slow the growth of lemmy.

          Nope, you can have civil conversation AND downvote someone, I do it all the time

          Not with you, though, cuz you get butthurt when the number isn’t positive. That’s a you problem, turn off votes if you can’t handle them
