I did not understand the flag when i first showed up here. I heard them referred to as down-votes. Even though my instincts were telling me that "flag" is definitely worse than "down-vote," I may have pressed it once or twice on low-quality posts.
What is Digital Wisdom exactly? Based on their website design, they dont seem especially wise, lol.
The blurbs from the website say:
The Digital Wisdom Institute is a non-profit think tank focused on the promise and challenges of ethics, artificial intelligence & advanced computing solutions. We believe that the development of ethics and artificial intelligence and equal co-existence with ethical machines is humanity’s best hope.

It used to be "downvotes" (there were both up- and down-buttons). That was changed to the "flag" button, but the two words refer to the same concept.
