people would get into personal grudges with others and start downvoting everything. we capped it to prevent that behavior.
Meh. I get there's going to be bad actors but I have a hard time understanding how this solution solves that particular problem.
The other side of that coin is an explicit prohibition to dissent from a commonly expressed opinion in a thread, then.
I'm not going to take the time to write a reply to each comment? But... they're all something I disagree with, all the same. And my feeling is that we should be allowed to say so, until proven otherwise.

I'd love to see this applied towards emoji laugh trolling. 🙏
I wish the disagree button was available in every thread, conversely.
The “haha” is the closest we’ve got, so… take it as such!

So you're confirming that you do use the "laugh" as an infinite dislike reaction?
See the issue @arn ?
This is how the "laugh" emoji is routinely used on your site (to denigrate).
So I get it. It’s not a perfect solution.
The existence of the downvote at all in News threads is because we promote highly upvoted posts to be featured under the article.
Without a downvote, highly polarizing comments (“I hate puppies”) would easily get enough upvotes to get promoted. Adding the downvote allows those comments to get un-promoted.
The system works reasonably well, even when you add in a daily limit. Which is why we’ve settled on that compromise.
