Idk that those are really the 'top posts'. Look at the dates, almost every one of them is '2 years old', this is just a period of time when the user base was at its largest.

This is the correct link https://saidit.net/top/?sort=top&t=all

You misunderstand me. I realize those posts have the 'most votes', but almost every one of those posts is just from a period where Saidit had more users to upvote things, not because those posts are particularly great. 99% of all Saidits 'top posts' happened between 2-3 years ago

It’s wild seeing 200 votes on a post.

Also, I think this site would get more engagement with a downvote button.

I fully agree - I don't even think we need to make it give negative karma, but it would show the difference between a post with 10 likes and 1 dislike, vs a post with 10 likes and 50 dislikes, people could still get the message that the post is disliked by many, and give people a way to voice disapproval that gets noticed without taking away visibility.

I don't like the negative karma, a post with 3 upvotes and 3 downvotes is generating more interest than a post with 0 of each, but both would have 0 karma

Yea. No negative karma is a good way to avoid trolls or like “professional trolling”.

No. Fuck that. One of Reddits biggest issues was the shitty upvote/downvote system. I like we're more like 4chan in that sense. No echo chambers and free speech.

You wanna go right back to being reddit? Fuck that.

I doubt it’s going to go back to Reddit. Lol.

Yes. Like I just said above, I would like upvotes and downvotes.

What is even the point of them? People just use them as a I Agree and Fuck you button. It's completely non conducive to real speech as it turns the place into an echo chamber when people are influenced by them. Fuck that. It's a shit system. Go back to reddit if you need that.

I am here for free speech.

Here, I can call you a faggot. I can tell transsexuals they look like men, they aren’t passing. I can say the N word. I am allowed to be racist. We can talk about Jews. Etc. I am here for free speech.

I’m not here because I’m an edge lord fag who is just trying something new. I’m here because I’m permanently not welcome at Reddit.

I liked the upvotes and downvotes. Don’t tel me to go somewhere else. I have just as much right to be here as you. And my opinion is no less than yours.

You think you’re correct. And that is your opinion. You are welcome to it.

I DISAGREE.

I would like an upvote and downvote button. It’s not my fault you can’t think clearly when people are voting.

If it makes you feel better, there will be no significant changes to this web site, ever. It is stuck like this forever.

Good, because it's my opinion upvote/downvote system is extremely detrimental to people speaking their minds and creates an echo chamber.

That's hardly an opinion, it's more of a fact.

And I can tell you to go somewhere else just like you can call me a faggot.
