my question was intended to be of a rhetorical flavor, i was not really looking for a response. Not intending to be rude, of course. Voting up or down of posts was a bad idea from the beginning. Voting serves those that want to censor topics. There are other options, and only those that are creative will seek out and implement these new methods.

The current social media models will be phased out.

Downvotes don't have to be used to hide things the mob disagrees with, and to throttle or ban users. It used to be common and useful to sort posts or comments by "controversial" on Reddit precisely because it gives you information Saidit doesn't use. But the site doesn't have to use it like Reddit and Voat did. It can just be displayed.

The one constant in this world is change. The current social media model will be phased out.

Most social media only allows users to "like", similar to Saidit.
