I think the problem here is that some people vote based on tone and some on content,
I hope to encourage more people to instead upvote based on rigor/epistemics/quality on the margin, rather than based on tone or based on agreement (which is some of “content”) or vibe.
EDIT: I also think a surprisingly high number of people upvote low-quality criticisms that have a good tone, which makes me surprised when others assert than the movement is systematically biased against criticisms (“insufficient discernment” will be a fairer criticism, but that’s a mistake, not a bias).
