Pyramid of debate sounds good to me. I fucking hate reddit. If you disagree with the herd groupthink you get downvoted, ultimately censored and banned. Since they're trying to monetize the site, wrong/bad thinking cannot be frontpaged, thus the bots, mods and admins all keep it that way.

Hopefully this site can do much better.

Exactly, the downvotes are used to censor and control people, rather than to actually give people a voice as intended. We hope to have learned from reddit's (and voat's) failures

I like our version of up/downvotes a lot. The concept of ignoring a post works great as a downvote and prevents that mob psychology that happens way too often on reddit with valid comments.

congrats on the medium write-up, hopefully much more and better on the way! :)

it took me a while to get used to the lack of downvote, but it is good.

IP2 seems to have gone with the old ways. I guess change is hard
