I'm not a fan of the downvote. Specifically because most of us have encountered this most of our life. Downvote/rejection and then radio silence or just ghosted. No help understanding what went wrong with the interaction and that little element - HELP with social matters is what this forum is useful for.
Autistics aren't afraid to over explain a thing or articulate a matter. We don't hear this as anything but a kindness.
No one is obliged to help or somedays, might not be able to access words very well. Voting up can be a form of "I agree" but voting down is rarely useful. And anyway there are enough social sites to garner votes and approvals if that's what you need :)
