For those who enjoy irony: the upvotes on this post pushed me over the threshold not only to 6-karma strong upvotes, but for my ‘single’ upvoted now being double-weighted.
While most of my comments here “magically” went from score ≥3 to a negative score (so, collapsed by default) over the last few hours, presumably due to someone strongly downvoting them. Including this one, which I find somewhat puzzling/worrying.
I know this comment sounds petty, but I do think it exemplifies the problem.
Edit: Charles below made this seem more reasonable.
I didn’t downvote your comments and I think for most people, it’s bad when they go negative, like it’s a bad experience.
To be fair, the specific comment (which I didn’t downvote) says you think it’s a personal norm to downvote ideas you think are harmful (which is a subjective and complex judgement)…and they downvoted it.

It collapses at −5, not just negative −1.

Thanks, this makes better sense than what I thought.
