One of the many things wrong with Reddit is that one downvote = one upvote.
So if your opinion deviates ever so slightly from the hivemind, your posts and comments will be swamped by an avalanche of downvotes, and will never be seen.
Saidit's lack of downvotes is generally an improvement.
But, it also means the site is often littered with batshit crazy content.
If it allowed downvotes, but gave them less weight (e.g. it took four or five downvotes to cancel out one upvote), we would avoid the echo chambers of reddit, while still seeing less of the "Jews are shapeshifting lizards who drink infants' blood" posts I see all too often.
