I guess to some people, tolerance is conditional on whether you agree with what they said.

how is downvoting related to tolerance?

You literally downvoted him, NOT for the content inside of the comment he made- but, because he chose to voice his opinion.

That is the definition of intolerance, towards any viewpoint that does not specifically agree with yours.

His comment, that you disagreed with:

I just posted my comment in the Lemmy.ml thread, so we’ll see how THAT goes…

I owe you an apology, @sexy_peach@feddit.de . I didn't mean to direct that comment only to you, but I see how it came across that way.

Upvotes and downvotes don't have modifiers that let you say whether you agree or disagree, whether you think the comment is relevant, or whether you appreciate that someone took the time to respond but you disagree with their points. They're too broad.

So without further information, like a reply, no one can really know why an upvote or downvote was cast.

So, would you care to discuss what I wrote in reply to your post?
