The importance of checking which community you are in!
On one hand I get the resentment at having a negative opinion and getting downvoted by people who do not share it, especially when you expressed your opinion civilly; on another, it is a reasonable expectation that when you enter the Thing Enthusiast Club and say "Thing sucks" without a detailed critique they will not be too pleased, and I think it's kind of an understandable thing. While we do need to welcome differing opinions, always having an open and welcoming ear for differing opinions might make it hard to just sit and enjoy things with likeminded people. Sometimes you just want to watch the game, the movie, bake the cake, without hearing about why the sport sucks or the movie is a hack job or the cake is bad for your health.
I think there are subscribers who are community regulars looking to just enjoy stuff together, and then the people coming in from Local or All understandably wondering why they cannot say anything negative about the Thing, especially when it might make an interesting point for discussion, and I am not sure how to resolve that!
