I have two questions

1. I know how strongly some feel about the downvote. Would people be less upset if the emoji was just a thumbs down? 👎
2. If the Black Lives Matter movement was Black Lives Matter TOO...would it be more understood?

The Downvote doesn't bother me that much. I find it funny when my posts get Dv'd. My life doesn't revolve around my vanity being pandered to. The DV does have a legit purpose even if it may not be used in the right way. Thumbs down may be a better idea.

I have no comment on the BLM.

There's a few million more articles on this despicable terrorist organization if you care to search for them. The only thing that matters is THE TRUTH.

Quick Fernie, delete this.
@therighttothink50 When I turned on the news a few days ago the first story was "Cops catch man decapitating his girlfriend...after dismembering her" Every day there is a story like that. 66% of the mass killings in the past 20 years were by white males. White racist (like you) cops have killed ...how many blacks? All those articles are written by white racist, threatened, ignorant, hateful white males most likely.White males do MOST of the murders,white men kidnapped Blacks, dragged them here from their homes and enslaved beat, raped,bought and sold them like animals. I could sit here for hours giving examples of sick white males behavior on a daily basis. You're a filthy racist. I support BM 500%! They are pissed off! Nothing has really changed in a few hundred years.Their anger is VALID!!! Privileged white boys,who actually belive that their pasty white skin automatically makes them superior need to be chipped, collard and caged imo.

I'm pro downvote; I'm just totally against the anonymity.

As for the BLM "Too" thing... I'm against that as well. The movement/message shouldn't be "sugar coated" just to make people who choose to be ignorant more tolerant. If society doesn't understand what that's about by now, they never will, regardless of how inclusive the "hashtag" is.
@LucyFuhr I don't see TOO being sugar coated. I see it as a way to keep some of the racist morons less insecure.

No. The downvote just causes drama. I feel that they should get rid of it.

@fernie2 I think when people are vulnerable, the downvoters take advantage of it. I laugh when they downvote me, but I've seen it affect people so much that they suffer from it.
I have downvoted posts where people sexualize children because that's gross.
@SW-User you're right, some folks already feel insecure on a serious level and a DV feeds into that.

@fernie2 Thank you Miss Fernie.
I like the down vote

And no, too seems to miss the mark. But I can see why you can go there.
Beautywithin · 36-40, F
No! It's simple if someone doesn't like a post move on to the next one, there are lots of post I don't practically like but I've never thought just out of spite ill downvote if it revealed who was down voting hardly anyone would do it
What does a downvote do? If it’s only an anonymous “Dislike” with no consequences, I don’t see why anyone cares.

Sadly some folk don't want to understand the BLM movement.
@Entwistle you are right 😢

@SW-User What makes you think I don't know that? There are so many racists who believe those 3 words mean ONLY black lives matter.The white racists.

My problem with the down vote is it's anonymous, it's a cowards tool in it's current format.
AntisocialTroll · 56-60, F
@fernie2 I've yet to see it used that way, I suspect that's because I don't usually bother with either religion or politics posts.

So far I've only really seen it used as almost a tool to bully people with.

If it wasn't anon I wouldn't have the same problem with it but as it is anon and being misused I'd like to see the site make the DV publicly visible to all so that it's not used to bully people.
@AntisocialTroll I'm good with it not being anonymous...it would happen less, BUT, people would be at each others throats. It seems to be not such a good idea
AntisocialTroll · 56-60, F
@fernie2 I don't disagree it'd cause agro but lets face it it's already causing great upset to those who are being downvoted for no real reason but someones spite, at least removing the anon feature would help prevent the bullying.
1.No. People might be less upset if it wasn’t anonymous—then cowards couldn’t hide behind it. They’d have to stand up and answer for their votes.

2. Perhaps in the beginning, but the people who are against it know very well what BLM is about—and that’s what they’re against.
Ref 2, that is inferred. But we are what we understand so some will therefore come down upon the whole movement.
@Tariki I'm acutely aware of that
