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.

Strongly agree. It also leads if you’ll notice on hex bear to lots of thread clogging, useless comments like people using an emote called down-bear to express the same in much more space. It’s ridiculous. The urge never leaves even if the button is removed. It doesn’t result in forcing more education, it just frustrates and overwhelms those capable of education.

There’s a spectrum of wrong between mod action (including removal and banning) and simply being wrong on something.

Yep, its clear their users are using those emote replies as a substitute for downvotes. People want to downvote comments sometimes (express disapproval with little effort), and will do that in the only ways available to them.
