I personally like how Saidit is pretty much a copy of Reddit. I don't like Ruqqus' design.

Im the opposite, saidit needs a better design and downvotes

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.

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.
