Greetings, fellow shitlords.

Also, this is my first time on a Reddit alternative and jesus balls does it feel good to see the downvote button shot out of an orbital cannon. Hated to see people get dogpiled for going against the hive mind.

Oh, with apologies to any canid- or hymenoptera-kin who expected a trigger warning for the above slurs. My bad.

I liked the downvote button in concept, but almost nobody followed the rule that the downvote button wasn't a "disagree button". That, and downvote acted as a mob censor utility.

Exactly. It was a tool for anonymously punishing people for having opinions you didn't like as much as it was used to keep nonsense down. And completely unnecessary; upvotes are enough to have popular submissions float to the top without tarring and feathering dissenters.
