This usually works fine for comments which are short, though sometimes fails. I think it basically never works for posts.
Right, but it’s already never working for posts, you just have an even lower dimensional view of it. Agree votes function more as a sink that isn’t karma-loaded when something is validly argued but seems wrong.
As someone who likely is not one of the people you’re criticizing for not downvoting enough, I’m not entirely sure I understand why others don’t, but my guess is that it feels rude. I know that downvoting someone new feels rude to me to do, so I usually leave a comment, but leaving a named comment is pretty high overhead.
If I felt it was welcome, I might have left a bunch of critical span-specific reacts on Nathan’s post, but I have the impression that that’s not considered acceptable by the mods, since I once did that and got scolded. If you want more downvoting, perhaps explicitly requesting something like this? either in the ui or as a pinned post perhaps
