It's impressive-----except for the downvoting (boo). It won't mean much in the early going, but down the road it will mean self-censorship via horizontal censorship as it certainly did and does at reddit.

Yeah I quite like the insightful and fun buttons here.

And I was just thinking... if one writes an unpopular comment, and gets one person to agree, no one can take that single supporter away by a downvote. That's really a big victory, because no one can negate a vote or a vote of support.

It also forces people to say why they disagree instead of merely downvoting to oblivion.
