Why don't you just mute people once they're past the -10/-20 mark?
They’re receptive to other viewpoints, so I’ve had pretty successful conversations with them, they just start off with terrible takes. Plus they posted a couple of good memes and spurred some good conversation in the comments sections of those memes because of their perspectives.
When I noticed someone had a few downvotes, I took it as a red flag, but I don’t like to block people who aren’t trolls or awful people.
I see where you're coming from. Seems like we differ on how and what we downvote and in turn we should consider -20 overall in different ways.
