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?

    That’s exactly how Lobsters are handling it:

    1. Useful info: upvote
    2. trolling, misleading etc.: flag with reasoning

    I feel that so far this has been the best approach to content aggregator voting.

      This sounds like a good thing as well. I was also thinking about tags instead of a singular downvote button for “everything negative”.
