If people down vote but are unable to provide a coherent rebuttal, that means that they are rage down voting.

I guess getting people to rage can feel validating, knowing that I've made someone rage quit a game feels satisfying for sure.

I don't personally feel that way about sites like Lemmy/Reddit/Social-media in general where things are more discussion and social-interaction based though. I guess for my kind of discourse goals, if I've made someone angry rather than laugh or understand my perspective, I've done a bad job.

Not necessarily, I usually downvote comments where there are enough rebuttal replies but I still disagree heavily with what's being said. I am able to provide the Nth coherent rebuttal but I'm just either lazy or I don't want to contribute to the spam.
