Yes, I understand  that it could be a useful tool for the cases you mention though it may be used just to harm someone else. It must be really annoying to keep downzapping posts just for the sake of harming.  

You know what downzapping needs. More communism. Downzapping for everyone. 

I think downzapping should be reserved for malicious posts like spam, plagiarism, ai slop, etc. 

However, it is just a tool and everyone gets to choose how they want to use it.

I think downzapping has value in some instances but to downzap just because you don’t like a certain topic, territory of stacker is silly. Just mute them.
