I like that there are no down-votes here.
That really makes the posts and ideas more diverse, and more intelligent.
This is what the plan was for this website.

No downvotes just allows whomever was first to dominate discussion.

Even on reddit - I would often reply to a heavily upvoted post, and btfo them with facts - only to see my comment rise, and their upvoted post to go into the dumpster. To be able to pull that off, in Marxistville homeland was truly awesome.

The problem with reddit was the admin level bans, rules - and who controlled the subs. It was never the downvote feature.

You do realize the posts are still sorted by upvotes here, right? They're not in chronological order.

First comment has more upvotes and will continue to accumulate at arguably a faster rate just for being first.

That’s what happens when no downvote.
