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.

This instance has downvotes turned off. My understanding is that since your account is from an instance that uses them, you can see and use the button, but it doesn't affect Beehaw posts. I believe the intentions are usually good for why downvotes exist, as you've mentioned, but since people will use them to disagree or otherwise spread negativity (think how vote brigading happens on reddit) it's disabled here altogether. Hope that helps!
That's super helpful, thanks!
