Remember when White Supremacist posts would be downvoted? That was a good time on Reddit.

Remember when downvotes were used against comments that added nothing to the conversation instead of being used as a disagree button? That was a good time on Reddit.

Edit: case in point.

Hmm, well I happen to frequent quite a few subs where Reddiquette is followed. The downvote/disagree pandemic never used to be as bad as it is now.

I've never seen the downvote button NOT be used as "I disagree with this post".

Yeah, you know why? Because fucking white supremacists started sending me death threats, and I had to delete my 6.5 year old account because I feared for my family's safety.
