What should I use it for?
In case of posts - should I downvote things that I don’t agree with? Or things that I don’t want to see in my feed (posts with low amount of votes fell more to the bottom)? Or things that I consider harmful/stupid/younameit?

In case of comments - should I downvote something that I don’t agree with? When should I use this button in case of comments. Or maybe I should not - cause what’s the point, actually?

    I’ve really only used the downvote button for things like clickbait article titles, though I haven’t used either button all that much.

      We should probably have a “hide” button for things that we don’t want to see, I think it’s better solution cause it simply removes the article from your sight of view. If something breaks the rules, on the other hand, it should be reported to mods.

        Its called a downvote, and it also helps “hide” things for others too.

          Excatly. “Hide”, not hide. Why cloning same responsibilities in different tools?
