extremely sincere
Yea I totally relate to that. People don't like heartfelt actual thought with emotion ime. A quirky one liner though? Upvote.
I tend to let it all out on these places, like a journal. I enjoy reading others entries too.

Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Ironically this is how it was done on Digg, you could only "digg" something to increase its score.
I feel the same. Although I started at beehaw and really liked the idea. I carried over to my own instance and it's nice. I have a few times looked for the down vote and realized I wanted it because I disagreed with whatever the comment was. That's silly... I use the upvote for thanking someone essentially at this point.
I agree! I'm liking it too. It's almost like that saying people would tell us as kids: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all."
This is one reason why I like it here. What annoyed me on Reddit sometimes was discussing "unpopular opinions".
For example on my local subreddit people would constantly argue for more housing density, which is great for affordability but any mention of "but what about transportation infrastructure then" got mercilessly downvoted. I really don't mind people disagreeing in replies but having a whole conversation downvoted and subsequently hidden is annoying. It generally made me not want to comment on Reddit, and just let the hivemind be.
