Recently, many of our anti-Zionists posts have been downvoted to oblivion by liberals. As hexberians realized a while back, downvotes only help liberals since they are more numerous and they don’t need to engage in discourse. I am proposing to just get rid of downvotes and instead engage in discourse on content that we disagree on.
I think both upvotes and downvotes should be removed. I do not like the idea of there being “scores” for posts. It makes posting feel needlessly competitive.
remove downvotes, remove upvotes, remove images and make the site look a usenet BBS from 1989 and I’m not joking
So Metafilter plus communities (although they did add upvoting eventually)?
Not a grad user, but replying to say I would love to try out an instance which implements this.
You can already effectively do this by
- Going into your settings and hiding vote scores.
- Change default sorting to New
