Man I don’t even downvote people I argue with unless they’re doing troll shit. A huge negative score can actually galvanize people’s bad takes, and make them triple down when they might’ve otherwise reconsidered their position.
It doesn’t even make sense from a “dunking” perspective because downvoting the top level comment DECREASES the visibility of your “dunk” reply. Reckon people are just petty lol
Same, if I disagree with someone I’ll respond, but they shouldn’t be downvoted for not sharing my opinion. But they are spewing some provably false bullshit I’ll downvote, especially if they double down on it. If they respond or edit and are like “ok, I was wrong,” I’ll remove that same downvote.

This is the way. Downvotes are for pseudoscience and bigotry, not harmless differing opinions.
