What are downvotes for then?

Iniquity@lemmy.zip to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 17 points –

So, coming from the world of RIF where downvotes haven't been a thing for quite some time: what are downvotes for in Lemmy?
What am I expressing when I downvote?

I don't agree with the post? I don't want the post to gain notoriety? I don't like the sentiment or the way it's expressed (even if it's factually true)?

Help!

This is sadly the most realistic answer.

Imo it's not sad. Just reality
