So what, what's wrong about expressing "I don't like this"? How's that different from expressing "I like this"?

The only "toxicity" is that it seems there are downvote trolls, so almost every post automatically gets a downvote immediately. But you can just ignore if you only have that one or two downvotes. If you can't handle that, you can't be surprised if you get called a snowflake.

People can and will build botnets to artificially upvote their posts, and downvote opponents. It's too easily abused.

Ok so why keep upvotes? It's the exact same problem. I've seen so much crap with shittons of upvotes, but one downvote and it's suddenly an issue.

They shouldn't keep upvotes either honestly.

I can respect that consistency.
