The U.S. and U.K. led a series of airstrikes in Yemen on Thursday evening, setting off alarms globally about how the attacks play into the smoldering regional risk of conflict — including a stream of questions from Congress about whether Biden was legally authorized to conduct the strikes at all.

    where you have to provide a reason for the downvote

    I would really like to see that here too, sometimes i’ll get slammed and won’t know if it’s because I made a mistake or if I PO’d some racists. Hell, I wouldn’t even care about getting downs if they were transparent about why I was getting them. What I care about is keeping the signal:noise ratio high, and it’s hard to do that when you have some harassing assholes downing everything you post regardless of content.

      Agreed, a lot of people just use downvoting as a form of harassment hoping to bully people they don’t like off the platform.
