MODERATORS
A lot of people see an upvote as a signal that they endorse the message, or at least want it to spread.
A downvote is the opposite of that.
You'll never convince people not to "shoot the messenger" on link aggregators because it's antithetical to their view of the system.
So, is there like some kind of indication that this is just sharing information and it's not in favor of? Because that would get me to stop and think before hitting the down vote.
Hmm… If only there were buttons to express explicit disagreement or agreement of the behavior of the OP, the idea expressed in the post, or both.
An interesting social media evolution path to think about, at the least.
