The DevRant community has such nice people, I wonder if anyone has used the downvote button even once. I haven't!

I have, but mostly for reposts.

@aronmik @thmnmlst I think I should start downvoting reposts, too! I've been seeing some of them so many times, it gets annoying.

@g-m-f tbh, I've never seen any rude DevRanter here. But maybe that's because they are removed before I have a chance to see them.

May be I will start from you 😁😁

I have for when someone picks windows as their favorite os on a Linux question

I did when some dickhead was putting down women in industry with stupidly sexist comments. I hope he got banned

Confession : I already downvote some rant, but only by mistake, ++ and -- buttons are too close :D

I downvoted a post where a dude threatened to rape and murder the families of developers at Apple, because of some issue with Safari.

It had around 700 upvotes at the time. I also reported it, but not sure what happened there

I down voted this post. My first down vote. 😂

@eshwarenm I knew someone would eventually succumb to the temptation 😂

I have, but only rarely (less than 5% of upvotes). I tend to do so when I think the person's statement is bad for the community, like if it seems elitist or like it's parroting something close to hate speech.

If I think that someone's genuinely thought something out and just happens to disagree, I have no problem. If it's something that I think could make someone feel unwelcome because of something they can't change, I'll downvote.

@runfrodorun worst part was, people was defending it. Saying I needed to calm down 🤔
