I've only recently gotten around to signing up for Reddit – not just for FFXIV, but an assortment of things – and I feel like it really suffers for downvotes not differentiating between "I disagree" and "this is a badly informed post that should be hidden from view". If I say a thing and it gets no replies but gets downvotes, I don't even learn what I've said wrong or whether I've given incorrect information.

This isn't an issue for the bulk of my conversations there, which usually neutral or slightly upvoted, but on the occasion where it does come up as an issue it's very frustrating.

But I'm inclined to blame that on social media as a whole and what it's done to people's communication skills.
