It's not as of right now, but I wouldn't say downvotes are the issue. The reality is that downvote = disagree no matter what rule you create that says it doesn't.
What I'm talking about are the insults, mischaracterizations, and general non productive discussion on comments that others don't agree with.
That happens at times on the internet.
I have to agree with the general impression though: I have only been here quite shortly, but the feel seems closer to "the reddit of olden days" for the general tone and feeling.
Mostly a good thing.
