I'd like to downvote your claim that we need downvotes.

Just upvote and then remove it. Very satisfaction

Ah, yes, we do indeed need the mechanic that made allows reddit communities to brigade and helps make it the echo chamber it is now.

    Yes upvote brigades are still possible. I think most consider the downvote brigading more sinister, as it can disappear content.

    Agreed, the loss of content (dissenting views) is the primary cause of echo chambers.

    Nothing more satisfying than downvoting someone that you think is wrong.

    It's like shorthand for telling them they're an idiot - keeps things much more civil.

    Nah, I'm loving the lack of downvotes, saying whatever I think instead of self-censoring. Not signing out to see if I'm shadowbanned on a particular sub too, things like that. I've got hopes for this place, feels like reddit of years ago.

    No downvotes also means visibility for oddballs who believe weird things, some of which will eventually turn out to be true, if the lessons of the past are anything to go off.

    Downvotes should never stop you from doing that. The shadowbans, on the other hand...

    You're describing an echo chamber. That satisfaction is what makes it so tempting and popular across social media. Downvoting leaves you with that smug satisfaction without ever needing to engage the views of the other person. Deriving pleasure in your smug self satisfaction while reducing contact with others that you might not agree with? That's a circle jerk, lol.

    Civility/orderly is not the way of democracy. It's messy and sloppy because it has to be. Everything it thrown in and over time, the best floats to the top.

    Except when people downvote stuff they just don't understand. As in it's the group that is wrong not the poster.

    Remember that time Galileo got down voted and banned?
