Downvotes = “I disagree” or “this is bad and you should feel bad”?

I think I’ve settled on the latter. Disagreement is maybe best communicated by the absence of an upvote? And downvotes work best when they signal something that is just off base, and while not reportable, is not appreciated at a broad cultural level.

Are upvotes for agreement ok though? Or should upvotes be reserved for quality content?
Yep. As said by @sunaurus@lemm.ee it was the concept I was reaching for I think.
If you agree with something, you probably consider it quality content.
