There should be a downvote button on saidit

I think this site needs a downvote button instead of the funny button, the funny button is useful at times but a downvote button would be much more useful.

The Downvote always becomes the "I disagree with you" button. It's worse than useless. For example go to reddit and point out the suicide rate of trannies. Oh man the downvote brigade comes out in force, despite it being a factual statement.

I hope you understand the reasoning behind its removal? The problems with "hate-mobbing" are real, and I far prefer it this way.

My favorite part about this site is the lack of a downvote button. If you disagree with a post you can explain why in the comments or ignore the post or block the user, but you can't just shadow-crap on someone's post by downvoting and moving on.

I think it's a good way to roll.

No downvote button is the charm of this site.

Nope. Not gonna do it. It's a defining characteristic of Saidit. You don't like it, there's lots of other Reddit clones out there. Try https://retalk.com/

Have a laugh react instead.
